The dissillusioned, self-infatuated protaganist of the 2002 movie Igby Goes Down, very losely based on the book Catcher In the Rye.

You can use it to describe an intelligent, cynical member of the priveleged class rebelling againt the pretention and hypocrisy of his upbringing to prevent from going crazy, but only through his own pretention and hypocrisy. Ultimately loveable though.

Igby Goes Down

1. The “Catcher in the Rye” for today’s illiterate, ADD-stricken generation;

2. Another movie where Amanda Peet shows her tits;

3. NOT about oral-sex.
"Igby Goes Down" is about Igby Slocumb, a rebellious and sarcastic seventeen year-old boy, at war with the oppressive world of his East Coast "old money" family. With a schizophrenic father, a self-absorbed, distant mother, and a shark-like young Republican big brother, Igby figures there must be a better life out there, and he sets out to find it. After happily flunking out of several Prep Schools, Igby escapes into the bohemian underworld of Manhattan. His darkly comic trip--shared by a deviant cast of characters, including his terminally bored, part-time lover Sookie, his Godfather's trophy mistress Rachel, and smack-dealing performance artists Russel--veers from bizarre to tragic in Igby's ultimately noble attempt to keep himself from "going down." Plus, Amanda Peet, as per the usual, shows her tits.

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.
