Tentch Wench: in a single glance, all notions of doubt in her mind were cast aside. The feeling within her heart began as a trickle, like that seeping from the virginal crevices of an as-yet undiscovered mountain spring. It gurgled and bubbled until it frothed into her throat and stomach, finally exploding with the strength of a waterfall. He was just as much in love with her as she was with him.

Bystander: Her writing is so tentch.

Craig: "Man, the tenth dentist really had to go and ruin the fun for everyone, huh?"

an individual who understands that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
"Health care isn't mentioned in the constitution, so the people of the States - and not the Federal Government - have the right to make their own decisions about how they want to receive and allocate funds for health care."

"What about voting rights, product safety codes and the federal highway system?"

"The people of the States understand that the constitution does not prohibit voting rights, which are reserved to the people. Safety awareness and protection, as well as highway construction and infrastructure maintenance have been provided by private individuals, and entities without necessitating interventions from the federal government."

"So you're a tenther then."

Tenthead 

A word denoting a typical liberal, likely to support the Democratic party without question and soften the edge of any leftist movement that threatens the establishment. Derives from the desire for the American parties (Democrats in particular) to be 'Big Tent'.
Tentheads often try to disarm any sort of radical movement in the name of 'keeping peace' and then go on to cry about needing the kind of change those radical movements would have brought.

Also synonymous with 'Shitlib' and 'Libtard' (though Tenthead is more often used in leftist circles.)
Hillary Clinton is such a tenthead.

Fucking tentheads ruin any movement that actually wants to bring about radical change.

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.
