ozstensibly
Now dat Dorothy Gale has gotten rid of da two wicked witches, you could ozstensibly gallivant from one corner of da territory to da other without fear of running afoul of less-than-sociable sorcerers. Depending on what areas you venture into, though, you still may need to watch out for da Jackdaws, Kalidahs, and Hammerheads, among other antagonists; you'll also wanna steer clear of da Fighting Trees. To be on da safe side, be sure to stop by da Emerald Palace for a printed travel-guide --- many of said royal castle's regular residents have had personal experience with many of these aforementioned undesirables, and so they have compiled said comprehensive booklet to let visitors know da "where and what" regarding said hazardous entities.

Ostensilunchable
When a person brings in a lunch box that would outwardly appear to contain healthy, wholesome foods, but in turn is just a giant bag of 7-11 store finds. This is usually done by a person who claims to be eating what would otherwise be considered healthy foods, but in fact are eating a meal every hour that is comprised of sodium laden, carbohydrate engorged, fat drenched garbage they purchased at a convenience store. During the consumption of these horribly planned meals, the person normally sounds like a pug eating a can of Alpo. You may even think that they are choking, but that is not the case. They are merely trying to obtain oxygen around the hot pocket between their lips. This is all done with a disturbing look of euphoria on the consumer's face.
This lady brought his lunch bag in today. It had the name of a local health food store on it and I was impressed until I realized the bag was an ostensilunchable. It was filled with pop tarts, energy drinks, candy bars, and other garbage.

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.
