known issue
A fault or defect in a system or machine that has been documented, but not yet fixed. A "known issue" differs from a "bug" in the sense that "bugs" are unknown, or at the very least undocumented.
"Customer Service, how may I help you?"
"Oh my god! I bought your new product and when I turned it on it began systematically hunting and killing my friends and family!"
"Yes, that is a known issue."
"What?!"
"It's documented."

Known Shitter
Someone who is a well-known/relevant member within a community due to their unfathomably egotistical personality. They will oftentimes have large egos but lack any sort of self-esteem. They also display a desperate craving for validation from their peers because they are physically incapable of having their own sense of self-worth.
Ever since that known shitter won the Fortnite World Cup, he hasn't shut up about it. He needs to go get some bitches or something.

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.

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