The TV station that encourages the same conformity, wastefulness, shallow attitudes, irresponsability, mMaterialism, and rootlessness that has been pandemic in the USA for decades. Sister station to TLC and to some extent the Discovery Channel and A&E (it used to be none of these used to suck).
Typified by such awful shows as Designed to Sell, Curb Appeal, House Hunters, and worst of all My ParentsHouse.
All I ever see on that damned HGTV are people sending all the old furnishings/architectural details, and long established plantings to the landfill (but only after destroying them thouroughly).
The people who watch HGTV are mostly a bunch of sheep and probably watch Fox News as well.
The impetuous urge to renovate, sell, or buy a house to fulfill a burning desire of aquiring a dream home.

Jen: I love this show! I want to redo the kitchen and bathroom! But then we'd have to do the living room and change the wall paint. Ugh! I just want to redo the whole house.
Adam: You just have HGTV Syndrome...Oh wow I would move for a yard like that.
Susan: Have you put your house on the market yet?
Janet: No. We still need to do an HGTV job on the living room to cover up the cracked drywall. Then we'll unload this old mule.

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 12lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
