The substitution of trademarked product names with fake or phony product names in order to avoid the payment of licensing or advertising fees.
Product displacement is frequently used in the television and movie industries in the 21st Century as a means of representing a certain product without using the exact name to avoid any potential legal costs to the producers of the programs.
The movie "Lethal Agent" had so much product displacement in it. It looked like one big advertorial.
A genetic disorder in which the person will time-travel either into the past or future uncontrollably, leaving everything that is not a part of the human body.
(From The Time Traveler's Wife, excellent novel may I add.)
Henry is unable to control his chrono displacement disorder, his time-traveling: when he leaves, where he goes, or how long his trip will last. His destinations are tied to his subconscious, as Henry most often travels to places he has visited or will eventually visit.
A sudden disappearance of energy from your body, making you feel disconnected from the world. You feel as though all life is outside of you, in a spiritual sense, and from another point of view, you look like in a daze. Can be unpleasant for you and others, because you look sick or disturbed. Resting for a little while can put the energy back in the right place.
Fred: Hey, what's wrong with Danny?
George: I don't know, he looks as though he has energy displacement. Look at his face; it's not focused on anything!

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).

Person B: "Wow, EBK."
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.
