Giving someone up to 8 hours on the dating swipe apps to respond after the initial match or after the last written conversation. If they aren't interested in you enough to contact you within 8 hours, then they won't be after.
Depending on the time of day, the 8 hours is to allow for a workday if they are at work and can't respond back or aren't allowed to have their phones with them. It also allows for sleeping. After 8 hours with no response, they get deleted.
In my dating profile: “Swipe right to meet someone fun and active. Looking to find someone with similar interests. Just want to let you know that I use the 'Rule of 8' with my matches. Hope to hear from you.”
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.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
