shit shower shave
Shit, shower, and shave (the British military called it "ablutions") was a phrase that originated in WWI, where the US military tried to "train" soldiers to perform certain functions ( to shit, shower, and you guessed it) in the morning so as to not be interrupted during actual combat (WWI was primarily a "daylight" war). By the end of WWII, combat was a 24 hour event, and they could never actually TRAIN the body to crap on command, so the practice was dropped. I've never heard anyone use it who wasn't a veteran of WWII. My dad (a WWII marine) used to say it in the morning and assumed that I (A Vietnam vet) knew what he was talking about. I just thought to myself "gee, dad, that's a weird thing to share..."

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
