quite, quite

A very posh expression used to express profound agreement, with strong understatement. Only used by the highly posh British. The 'double-quite' is a relative of the 'single quite', used in the similar circumstances, but less profound and much more common. The double-quite is not to be used by amateurs, or the would-be posh. It confers an added degree of standoffishness, unexpressed opinion or derision (as compared to the single quite) with respect to the person or thing being discussed.

Quite right, too. 

"Quite right, too" are some of the last words the Doctor ever said to Rose Tyler after she was sucked into an alternative universe in the episode "Doomsday" in the popular science fiction show "Doctor Who". The Doctor never got the chance to tell Rose he loved her, and after finding a single crack in the universe that he was able to project an image of himself, he tried to say those words. Sadly, the crack closed right before he got to tell her he loved her and the scene made people all over the globe cry.
Rose: "I.... I love you."
The Doctor: "Quite right, too. And I suppose, if it's my last chance to say it, Rose Tyler-"

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.
