Blingtard is a contraction of bling and retard. And is a response to the over abundance of bling on some persons, thinking that more is allways better.
This word originates from the virtual world Second Life, where one subculture is white boygangster wannebe's Role Playing gangsters with to much Bling. But since the Bling in RL is getting to absurd levels, the word is starting to being used for RL bling retards as well.
In computer programming used to describe a user interface with lots of bling, bitmapped themes, animated widgets, reacting to user events that should be ignored, more focus on appearance than functionality. Typically unusably slow due to either the effects being too heavy for the machine, or due to animated transitions designed to force the user to watch them fully and exclaim a loud "wow!" as a punishment for clicking or getting near the computer at all.
Hmmmm, KDE isn't yet blingtastic enough, let's addPlasma in KDE 4.0.
EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).

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.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
