counter-mad

When someone gets upset with you for getting upset at them.

After much thought, I let him know I was upset, and he just got counter-mad at me and put the phone down.

countermack

a particular form of cock block in which someone lays down the mack of equal or superior effectiveness to someone else's already existing game-kickage to someone, usually in order to decrease their chances of scoring.

"So I was at this party. Greg was laying down the mack on Robin, but that interfered with my plans since I had been trying to work her for a while. So I laid the countermack on Greg. His game quickly dissolved as I proved him to be a giant mangina"

Counterfade

Somebody who does not want to fight, but will.

Sports are one thing, fighting is something else. A lot of people think of fighting as being like a sport calling something a fade in reference to fighting. There's always a counterfade though. Watch what you try and create.

Countermandering

The strategic redrawing of electoral district boundaries in Democratic-leaning (blue) states as a direct response to partisan gerrymandering by Republicans in red states. While gerrymandering typically aims to entrench power unfairly, countermandering is framed as a defensive or corrective measure intended to restore electoral balance and representation.

Derived from “counter” (against, in opposition to) and “gerrymandering” (manipulating voting districts for political gain).

In an effort to level the electoral playing field, state lawmakers in Illinois engaged in countermandering to offset aggressive gerrymandering tactics used in Texas and Florida.
