Catch you on the flip flop 

A phrase coined during the 1960s and 1970s trucker Citizen's Band (CB) culture. It literally means "I'll contact you on the return trip." If two long-haul truck drivers regularly make opposing trips, their path will eventually meet on each iteration of the trip. This term is virtually interchangeable with catch you on the flip side.

Catch you on the flip side 

In the early stages of spaceflight, NASA developed a technique that saved much needed fuel to return space craft back to Earth by using the moon’s orbit like a slingshot. Astronauts in space and ground control would lose radio signal once the space craft makes its way to the “back-side” of the moon and away from line of sight with Earth. They would of course regain radio signal when they reach the other side of the moon (the “flip side”). It was customary for Ground Control to say “Catch you on the flip side” before they would lose radio signal.
The none-space working-class community adapted the phrase as a “good-bye” or “see you later.”
(I’m about to lose contact with you. Time will pass. I’ve re-established contact.)
With that being said: “I’ll catch you on the flip side!”

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.
