popskull
(N): A term coined in the prohibition era,(1920's) used to describe really bad or cheap moonshine whiskey.
Originating from the fact that really crappy booze would give you such a hangover that you think your brain was going to swell up and pop your skull open.
This cheap buzz juice was often poured into a bathtube with fruit juices to mask it's horrible taste. The use of "mixers" with rotten booze is the origination of todays cocktail beverages.
During this time there were models of vehicles that used ethel-alcohol in their radiators as a coolant. Many cases are on report of "down on their luck folk" draining and drinking this nonpotable fluid. Being not the same chemical formula as comsumable intoxicants, these people often sustained major internal injury. Gastric problems, blindness, heart failure, brain damage, and extreme inflamation of the circulatory system being key results of injestion. And yes , it can kill ya' too!
Also latter when "Moon shining" became more abundant, one of the ways to transport illegel alchohol was to pour the "shine" in the radiator, drive to the delivery point, drain the booze and replace it with regular coolant. Then the shine runners (early origins of NASCAR racing) collected their cash, went home and poisoned loads of people with the now polluted booze they just delivered. YeeeeeHaaaaaawww!!!!

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.
