Manna for the mindless
Manna for the mindless is a disparaging description of television programmes that do no more than fill up air time. The programmes that are banal, trivial and boring and which, if they were a person, would be described as a WOFS. You know the sort of crap, pretty well all of daytime television, soap operas screened at any time, moronic game shows, chat shows featuring liggers or z-list celebrities, the list just goes on. It is the sort of programme which doesn’t require dumbing down as it is targeted at fuckwits or insomniacs who need something other than drugs to help them sleep.
Before twenty-four seven television was inflicted on a long-suffering human race, manna for the mindless was typified by film serials where the hero always overcame impossible odds to rescue the heroine from an impossible situation and the villain was always defeated. Either that or the Hollywood musical of the 1950s such as Carousel or South Pacific, total shite consisting of totally forgettable songs, stilted dialogue and a non-existent plot.

Blexas
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.

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.
