Shirley Phelps-Roper 

1.(n, proper, technically) A member of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. It is the spawn of the church's founder, Fred Phelps. This she-devil is often seen at or near the funerals of Iraq War victims, and LGBTs who died of AIDS, sporting large, colorful signs stating "God Hates Fags" and so on. Like her father, she believes that everything bad that happens to any American citizen or the country is because of the lack of federal persecution of gays and lesbos.

It should be noted that she is forbidden entry into the United Kingdom or any of its territories.

Anne Shirley Cuthbert

Anne Shirley Cuthbert is a fictional character from the show Anne With An E (a remake of Anne Of Green Gables).

In the beginning of the show, we see Anne as an orphan in late Canada, however, as the show progresses, she becomes familiar with the world of Avonlea, her new home. She is welcomed into the Cuthbert family by siblings, amarillo and Matthew (despite prior complications).

Anne is a kind hearted, poetic young girl with iconic red hair, usually worn in braids. Despite the hardship thrown at her, she never struggles to find the beauty in the world, explaining in the most fantastical ways e.g. ‘the white way of delight’ or ‘the lake of shining waters’. Anne is expressive and theatrical, even without trying to be. She truly is remarkable!

She is hopelessly in love with Gilbert Blythe (she just doesn’t know it yet) and is the bosom friend of Diana Barry. She is part of the Cuthbert family, whose farm she lives on (Green Gables) sling with other family members, Marilla and Matthew.

Join Anne in her adventures as her interest grows, and need to know skyrockets.

If you are ever lucky enough to meet someone who even slightly resembles Ms Anne Shirley Cuthbert, make sure to find a dear place in your heart for this kindred spirit.
Gilbert: Any dragons around here need slaying?

Anne: No! Thank you!

Gilbert: Hey! Who are you? Miss! Who are you?

Shirbert fanatic bystander: That’s Anne Shirley Cuthbert aka your soon to be wife. hehe <3 !!!

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.
