Metaegoism 

Egoism strictly defined is the habit of valuing everything only in reference to one's personal interest. It’s a kind of selfishness and it’s opposite is altruism.

Metaegoism takes this a step further and finds a way to enshrine one’s egoism thus formalizing it. A good example of this would be to get your Urban Dictionary contributor’s name as an Urban Dictionary entry.

Jus sayin’.
In an act of total metaegoism, Mindhunter the Profiler added his Urban Dictionary contributor’s name to the Urban Dictionary. That’s some meta fo’ yo’ ass!!!!!

Meta-meme is a meme which transcends all other memes. It's ironic in content as well as form. At first it usually doesn't make much sense, but that's only because it's memeing itself. Once you understand its memetics, you understand the whole meme culture.
Usually very distorted, misspellt and shiny, a meta-meme combines elements of different mostly ironic or pre-ironic memes.
"Why is the minion saying 'Hey Beter'?"
"It's a meta-meme, you dip."

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.
