You don't know ball 

A cringey phrase being used by the cretinous Instagram-generation to devalue another person's opinion about football. Regardless of the fact that the validity of that person's opinion usually spot on.

The origin of this phrase is hazy but it came in after those of the age 22 years and under decided to start using unnecessary Americanisms to describe the English game in an effort to sound cool. Thus the term "ball" came in at the expense of the term "football".

See also "baller" e.g "dude that Kevin De Bruyne is a propah ballllller". Just stop thinking you're American you plums!
Nigel "Harry Kane doesn't show up at finals or semi-finals. He's decent but he is nowhere near world class. The statistics back me up on this"

Instagram obsessive clueless oik "you don't know ball fam- he is world class so put sum respeck on da name. I don't care about statistics or facts I just think my opinion is as valid as your facts. Plus I say actually and literally a lot"

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.
