epileprosy 

Derogatory term for a completely-phony “song ‘n’ dance” routine that's merely intended to manipulate, distract, and/or gain undeserved sympathy/allowance/assistance from others. The ploy involves turning ghastly-pale (white grease-paint can be helpful here) and wildly thrashing your limbs and loudly gasping/grunting as if you’re having a seizure, so that observers will conclude that you have multiple serious illnesses and therefore need emergency assistance, are so totally “out of it” that you should not be held responsible for your actions, etc.
There are many types of situations where resorting to epileprosy may be called for, such as when you wish to change the subject, you're in imminent danger of "getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar" (and so you wish to appear to merely be aimlessly wandering about instead of intentionally occupying an "off-limits" location), you wish to avoid strenuous labor or a disagreeable health/medical procedure, etc.

Epilepsy Dance 

A common term for an unnamed dance style made famous by singer-songwriter Ian Curtis. The dance consists of wild, rapid arm movements along with a spasm-like jittering of the body; somewhat reminiscent of a grand mal seizure which is where it gets it's name from.
Ian Curtis was famous for his "epilepsy dance" during his on-stage performances with post-punk band Joy Division.

Partial Onset Epilepsy

a form of epilepsy that isn't all that bad but it makes you have short, kind of uncomfortable seizures that I really would prefer to not have.

It is also slange for what Emu's do on their days off. Little known fact right there.
Ex 1: Due to my Partial Onset Epilepsy, I have seizures sometimes and they make me feel quite ill (NOT the good kind of ill). On the plus side, I get to take anti-convulsent medication with many, many side effects. It is so great.

Ex. 2: I heard that when an Emu gets a day off it is refered to as Partial Onset Epilepsy. They could have picked a better nick-name. It is so not funny to make fun of neurological disorders. Emus are all terrible.

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.
