moffat wank 

1. Episodes written by Steven Moffat that aren't very good for various reasons (sexism, gaping plot holes, story discontinuity, etc).

2. A tag used on Tumblr and other social media sites when complaining about TV episodes Moffat has written which have included a lot of sexism, loopholes, or otherwise poor writing, and has disappointed fans.

Phrase comes from the idea that we don't want to watch episodes where Moffat just wanks himself (as in writes whatever he wants, regardless of the fans, character development, overall story, or preset rules of the story universe like in Doctor Who).

Additional information: Moffat is a Scottish writer who has written for Press Gang, Stay Lucky, Joking Apart, Murder Most Horrid, Chalk, Coupling, Jekyll, The Adventures of TinTin, and, most famously, Doctor Who, and the BBC's Sherlock.
A: That last episode of Doctor Who was some serious moffat wank. Loopholes, much?
B: Yeah, I definitely prefer RTD's episodes lately.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

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.
