A old spiritual sung by plantation slaves.

Recently popularized (in the UK) by the success of England's rugby squad in the Rugby World Cup and in particular Fly-Half Jonny Wilkinson. He scored a conversion in the last 90 seconds or so, putting the score ahead to 20-17, from 17-17.

For those who come from non-rugby playing countries:

Try: 5 points.
Conversion: 3 points. Mr Wilkinson's speciality.

Swing Low, Sweet Chaaariot,

...and so on.

Swing Low primarily refers to their eventual semblances of freedom, E.T.A. 28th August 1963. Possibly, the "Sweet Chariot" symbolizes civil rights legislation that may free the oppressed black peoples of America, and everywhere in a more general way.

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.
