Critical Whup-ass 

Critical Whup-ass is achieved when slurs and profanities become extremely offensive and unbearably barbaric. At this point, All Hades can and will break loose causing all with in it's radius of influence to become incredibly violent and begin attacking anything that moves in their field of view.
"If I hadn't of stepped in to stop Joe, Critical Whup-ass might of occurred."

Whup-ass Dynamics 

The theory of Whup-ass Dynamics:

Opening a Can of Whup-ass tends to increase overtime and it will increase in pain, injury, and destruction . If continued, whup ass will result in mass death and destruction. Whup ass also acts as an event horizon of whup ass.

It will draw in all negative emotions and energies towards the center of the point of whup ass. Once with in the field of influence (similar to the gravitational field of a black hole in space, but also like a heavy mass neutron star.) Hostilities will become more frequent. As Critical Whup-ass is achieved slurs, profanity, and violence will become extremely offensive and unbearably barbaric.

The effects will become stronger until others helplessly reach the point of no return. At this point the more people that fall into the "said" can of whup-ass will exponentially add to it's radius of influence.
Today in the school of hard knocks I learned about Whup-ass Dynamics. It's the theory of how and why whup-ass occurs and what would happen if one was to become involved with it.

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.
