Also known as The Law of Sod, this term refers to the global phenomenon of how something will go wrong just exactly when one most wants it to go right.
One example of Sod's Law: After weeks of flat seas, the surf turns perfect the day you drop (and break) your surfboard while moving it out of storage.
British/Australian version of Murphys Law. Has been made infamouser by a recent British Gas Advert. Basically, if anything can go wrong, it will, and bad luck reigns the day AFTER the charm is lifted.
****ingsod's law! My toaster blew up the day after my warranty ran out!
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.
