th'all
An explicitly plural form of "they", just like an explicitly plural form of "you" is "y'all".
Avoids the ambiguity of using "they" when referring to a group of people who include some people of non-binary or unknown/undisclosed gender, or when there's a group included.
In English, we often use a specifically gendered pronoun to refer to a specific member of a group, so we would say "Sally is doing something with Mike, but she'll be coming to the party after." and it's clear that Sally is the one that will be coming to the party. If we said "he'll be", it would be clear that Mike was coming to the party. And if we said "they will be coming to the party after", we would _probably_ mean that both of them were coming to the party, but it becomes a little bit ambiguous.
"Th'all" solves this by always being all-inclusive. A guy and a girl going shopping? Hopefully th'all find some good specials. A non-binary person and 3 dudes dressed fancy for a night out? Th'all look swanky.
The possessive form is "th'all's".

Thall
First coined by the Swedish Progressive Metal band Vildhjarta, the meaning of thall was kept very secret for years, and was used as an inside joke to torment members of the djent community. Some speculated it was the name of their debut LP release, but this proved to be incorrect as Vildhjarta put out an album named Masstaden instead. Others speculated it was onomatopoeic, in the same manner as the word "djent"; used to describe the twangy thall sound of Vildhjarta's heavily-distorted extended range guitars. This proved also to be inaccurate.
The origins of the word thall were revealed by Calle and Daniel - they were slurring the word Thrull, and after, took it upon themselves to share the hilarious distortion of the word all over the internet. The word's popularity was hugely propagated by their rabid fanbase who would embrace thall and frequently leave comments consisting of just the word alone all over facebook and youtube.
Thus, thall has no true meaning, but has become a word unto itself.

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.
