Elton : Um, I'm not sure, she may have been there, you'd have to as...

Simon : Sorry to have changed the subject earlier, I think you were asking about Lesotho. Ah yes a lovely, enclaved, landlocked country in Southern Africa, capital is Maseru. What about it?

Simon : I think you mother was with your sister too last night (heard tapping away on keyboard).

Expletive. Something so deluded with platitudes and presuppositionalism as to be entirely void of coherency and purpose. To be used in frustration when encountering popular media that was so clearly pandering to a lower denominator as to be insulting to the viewer's intelligence. Can be extended to include any adaptation that requires full knowledge of the source material to make any sense. Referencing the 1971 catastrophe, in which Christian apologism, hippy love, pop culture, and worship rock united in a singularity of unparalleled intellectual masturbation. Has possibly been appropriated by those too weak to resist as a banner of compartmentalized conviction.

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.
