catch some rays
To lie outside in the sun, to sunbathe.
Background for the word: The term originates from a 1998 conference at a Tampa Hilton hotel. I came to attend from Norway, where I used this term in my own language. So I just translated it and used it about going to the pool area. People thought it was funny and started using it too. I guess they spread it all over the country afterwards.

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.
