Bastard gas
A bastard gas is a stupid gas that is good for almost nothing because it can’t be used for cooking or turning on grills. Butane is not a bastard gas. Pentane is a bastard gas. 1-Pentene is a bastard gas. Isopentane is a bastard gas. Ethyl chloride is a bastard gas with a boiling point of 54.14°F 12.3°C. Ethanol is a bastard gas. Anything flammable chemical with a boiling point of 54.14°F 12.3°C or higher, or any non flammable chemical is a bastard gas. If it's a liquid at standard room temperature (68°F-77°F, 20°C-25°C) and pressure (1 atmosphere), it's definitely a bastard gas. Some "Bastard gases" make great solvents in the laboratory for extraction or chemical reactions.
Pentane is a bastard gas. It's boiling point of 96.98°F (36.1°C) makes it a liquid at room temperature and useless for gas grilling and refilling butane lighters.
Hank: Bobby! Stop playing around with that bastard gas pentane and help me hook up the butane to the gas grill, since they didn't have propane.

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.
