gnarly dude 

A phrase that non Southern Californians usually east coasters think is only something people say in the movies, when in fact we use it all the time, along with awesome, stoked and rad. Mostly a coastal term, but also used in the inland empire aka the land of the dirt people.

It describes an impressive event whether it be positive or negative.

gnarly dude 

Contrary to popular belief, gnarly dude, is not a description of a dude at all. It is an expression generally used after witnessing or otherwise perceiving through a third party any event that is impressive, unbelievable, extraordinary, or out of this world. The phrase is much more closely related to other phrases such as "wow", and "amazing", than to "That dude is gnarly".

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.
