Epidemiological Quotient [Epi Quo]
I have coined this term and it can be measured "to assess the knowledge of the doctors about the medicine and health in the social context".
Epidemiological Quotient Epi Quo can be explained like If a doctor has good knowledge about the treatment of a illness but if he/she doesnt know that what is the problem statement of that disease in the society it can be said that He/She has low Epidemiological Quotient Epi Quo. A good doctor knows the treatment and social pathology of that disease also(In other words, good in Epidemiology). eg. If doctor knows the treatment of diabetes but he doesnt know what all factors like Genetics, age, sex, socio economic status affect the chances of one getting Diabetes or what is the prevalence of it in his society then that doctor can be called that he has low epi quo. Knowing all this means Higher Epidemiological Quotient.

Blexas
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.

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.

Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
