When a fad or affectation has outlived its coolness, one can declare a moratorium on it. It's a polite way to express one's rage at seeing something silly continue in perpetuity.

1. White chicks with dreadlocks; I'm declaring a moratorium on that.
2. I'm declaring a moratorium on the faux-hawk. It's been co-opted by too many frat boys.
3. I believe it's time to declare a moratorium on the fart app for iPhone.

Lower-Intergovernmental Moratorium Agency (LIGMA)

Lower-Intergovernmental Moratorium Agency was established on February 10th, 2022, as an organisation responsible for postponing people's faults in the field of modern Internet: any bad thing that was said on Twitter, any opinion that is slightly controversial on any social media platform, any demonetized video on Youtube can be morally forgiven and reinforced with rhetorical support of us, LIGM Agency. Also this structure implies the existence of yet again one more LIGMA abbreviation, which you can use in case you are asked or just for fun. Right now, the agency consists of 'two and a half' people and is relatively unknown. LIGMA understands that reviving a dead meme might not be so funny, yet it still has its own style and feel. Also there is HIGMA (H stands for Higher), but we can't obtain much information about it.

- Yesterday I called LIGMA!
- So, what did they Lower-Intergovernmental Moratorium Agency (LIGMA) tell you?
- That hating black people can't be forgiven. I guess I'll still have to delete my tweet about slavery.

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.
