premature clapulation

Applauding before a performance is finished. This refers to situations where some or all of the audience think that the performance is over, NOT because they think its superlative quality merits mid-performance applause.

Everyone applauded because they thought or hoped the song was over, but there was one more tedious verse. Terri whispered to me, "Whoops! Premature clapulation."

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.
