shoot the breeze
Refers to where you sit quietly behind a big clueless dude who's eagerly chowing down on a huge plate of baked beans, "bide your time", and then fire off a starter-pistol just as said dude is starting to "rip one", thus igniting the unsuspecting dude's expelling methane and creating a humongous blowtorch-fireball out his ass. Extra points if (A) you loaded the gun with full-flash blanks --- both for a more spectacular effect and to better ensure that the muzzle-flash would indeed ignite the gas --- and (B) you chose a dude who usually has fairly "extended" farts instead of merely "little toots", so that any spectators can be treated to a real "light show" instead of just a brief flare-up.
Startled guy with a smoking pants-seat: Oh, Jeez Louize ---!!! When you fellas invited me over to your backyard barbeque to "shoot the breeze", I never expected that you'd mean it in a LITERAL sense!!

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.

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.
