Dorobo is a derogatory term for unrelated hunter groups of Kenya and Tanzania.
In the past 150 years, many of these peoples have assimilated to the neighbouring peoples and have, in the process, abandoned their own languages.

ETYMOLOGY:

The term 'dorobo' is derived from the Maa expression il-tóróbò which implies - primitive and very poor hunters.

Today the term describes the vile and worthless individuals with no morals whatsover and prey on one's own kind .

The word also applies to a wretched person or a group of individuals who betray his or their own people, one who commits a very serious act of disloyalty or one who takes advantage of kindred friendship and dupe unsuspecting members of his own group, for personal and oftentimes immoral gains.

There are two known types of DOROBOS, the specialist and the generalist.

The specialist will target one person at a time while the generalist is more opportunistic and will go after a group.
Examples of each type of dorobo.

Specialist:
One who knowingly enters into a contract, i.e. to construct a swimming pool , with the intent to defraud and consequently antagonize the target 'client '. In essence, one who jimmies from a contract.

Generalist:
An engineer who swindles a large sum of money from a group of trusting inviduals thru' a fictitious agri-aqua venture project. One is deceived into entering a Faustian bargain.

Dorobucci 

A clever fusion of the words "Doro" and "Bucci" first used and then popularised by one of Africa's foremost Music Producers, Don Jazzy alongside his Mavins Crew.

"Bucci" describes a thing or activity that is pleasing and fun. A fantastic or awesome person, thing or moment.

"Doro" is a personification of these attributes of awesomeness, fun and pleasure. Doro is all round perfection.

"DoroBucci" is then safely concluded to mean the very essence of "Human" perfection. The suggestion that "DoroBucci" refers to some god or is a comparison to God is thus misleading as The Mavins throughout the song used the term in comparison to Worldly things and attributes.

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.
