surthrival

A portmanteau of "survival" and "thriving." Just making ends meet, yet flourishing as a person. Finding time for growth under harrowing circumstances. Meeting life's most unwelcome challenges with gusto, and even panache. Existential heroism.

Kira's 2020 surthrival has been impressive. While the rest of us fatted ourselves on delivery, booze, and Netflix, she quit smoking and drinking and got her own place!

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.
