Puppyguarding
When the person who's "it" in freeze tag waits right by someone touching the base, so they can immediately be frozen when they quit touching it. The definition can be expanded to include someone in a position of power who bides his/her time to catch a 2nd person in a mistake, often for self-benefit (especially if the 2nd person is considered a nuisance).

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.
