orders of magnitude 

A hyperbolical and completely unnecessary adverbial phrase in techie or business-speak that simply means "much" or "considerably".
"I think we would like it to be more reliable," Katz-Bassett said. "It's orders of magnitude less reliable than the telephone network right now. I think it should be pretty possible to get it closer."

(From a Yahoo! news report)

Orders of Magnitude 

Let's get one thing straight: You ARE trying to kill me with this. When I die alone "without ever having any real friends" after spending the vast majority of my life being derided almost exclusively so you can use me as an instrument for ridicule in a way that leaves me unallowed to retaliate, that isn't "you not killing me." Sorry, I'm not an incest cultists so nobody told me that I was just subject to your whim, ad infinitum. Which is par for the course in a place where I'm expect treat women like pleasure dictators that imbue the subject of THEIR whim with an inflated value that then multiplies AND COMPOUNDS. That sounds like a DEBT. Or a LOAN.
A fucking retard "But a GOOD person would forgive us. Jesus would forgive us."

Hym "You mean the guy you fucking mangled in spite of the fact that he didn't to anything wrong? Fuck that guy. As a matter of fact, if you were fucking that guy he wouldn't be getting nailed to some wood."

A retard "Well if you're not a GOOD person then you're a BAD person and then-"

Hym "I'm subject to your whims again? Yeah. That seems to be a general theme. And now that my fate affects you there are orders of magnitude? What order of magnitude is weaponize schizophrenia and harvesting my soul for consumption? Because... BOTH OF THOSE THINGS WERE ALREADY HAPPENING BEFORE I SAID ANYTHING. Am I working of the debt you deferred good enough yet or what?"

Order of Magnitude Analysis 

Only slightly less useful than real analysis, order of magnitude analysis (instead of using actual values) only considers what size "ruler" one would choose to measure each thing then compares those "ruler" sizes to assertain whether thing one is huge compared to thing two or vice versa.
By order of magnitude analysis, the scale of an atom is a 1 billion-billion-billion-billionth the scale of the observable universe. So, quite frankly my dear, we astrophysicists don't give a damn!

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.
