To disregard/abandon/ditch a person or other entity. The word is actually an acronym for "a man for his own".

Origins of the term:
"Amfho" which came about one sweltering afternoon in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

A Muslim dude (a bit wasted at the end of a hot day in the holy Muslim month of Ramadhan, while he was fasting) was responding to his Christian friend who offered to fast with him as a show of support. He replied "nah don't worry about it, a man for his own" (where he had inavertently spliced together "every man for himself" and "unto each his own", and mutated the first word).

The term amfho subsequently achieved a great deal of popularity in Sunway College, and it has now been exported to the rest of the world, most notably Australia.
"We amfho'd him as he was running late, again."

"British forces were getting whipped by the Japanese army, so they just decided "amfho" and left the region."

"That bitch amfho's guys the moment they run into financial trouble."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

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.
