octal
Pronunciation: /ˈɑ k.təl/
Definition:
1. The ordinal number symbol: 8.
2. The position in a sequence following the seventh (septal) element; the eighth (octal) item in an ordered series.
3. Pertaining to a base-8 numbering system used in computing and digital systems.
4. Denoting one of eight equal parts, divisions, or a group structured in octaves.
Significance:
• It defines the eighth (octal) position with systematic regularity and clarity.
• It emphasizes the structure of octaves, octets, and eight-part divisions.
• It identifies computational systems, musical scales, and geometric structures based on eight.
• It avoids incomprehensible and ambiguous pronunciations common in irregular numeric forms.
• It simplifies expressions of order in computing, music theory, and geometric partitions.
• It improves precision in technical, musical, and mathematical contexts involving the number eight.
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "eighth" with a consistent Latinized ordinal form.

This form of extreme masturbation is two steps below a decajerk and infinitely many steps below a circle jerk. Mass lotion consumption is a common factor in these situations.

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.
