flux capacitor
a electrical capacitor capable of storing the 1.21 gWe generated by a nuclear reaction, or lightning bolt. Unique due to its size, as conventional capacitors that can handle such energy would take up the space of a small apartment complex. The device has nothing to directly with time travel, merely allowing the 1.21 gWe to be used all at once, and in phase.
"And that's when you came up with the idea for the Flux Capacitor...
Which... is what makes time travel possible." - Marty McFly

Flux Capacitor Speak
Using lots of technical sounding jargon to make something sound more important or complicated than it really is. When in reality it makes no sense what so ever. But, IT SOUNS COOL!
"The collector and the timed switching device are incorporated in the nature of the bee-bees in brine. In conjunction with a magnetic field and the load, the flux capacitor uses the hierarchical structure of the cosmos as a timer! The trilamination of the tiny spheres with selected metals and their subjection to a magnetic field and current (sustained by the load) destabilizes the orderliness of the proton, the heavier atom and the "tissue" of individual layers of metal. The matter then seeks to re-establish itself in the fractal set." Flux Capacitor Speak

flux capacitor
A fictional device from the movie Back to the Future that allows travel through time. It can also be used as a scapegoat for computer problems when people ask dumb questions.
Some guy called me to ask me why his computer wasn't working during a power outage, so I told him his flux capacitor was broken.

flux capacitor
A 3-pronged device which, when properly combined with 1.21 jigawatts of electricity, grants access to the fourth dimension. (The ability to travel through time.)
Just tape the flux capacitor to a car, a toaster, or any other mechanical item you can think of, and you can travel through time with it!

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.
