Solamend
Forms: noun solamend (pl. solamends); adjective solamend, solamending; verb to solamend (solamended, solamending).
1. n. A consciously untrue reply given to protect the person who asked, especially to reduce their worry, shame, or hurt.
2. n. The act or practice of giving such a protective, mood-preserving falsehood.
3. adj. Given or shaped to comfort the asker rather than to report fact.
4. v. to solamend (someone): to answer someone with a protective untruth.
Etymology: Built on Latin sōlāmen “comfort, relief” (source of solace) + a clipped element from Latin mendāx / mendac- “lying, false,” blended on an English stress pattern. So: sola- (to soothe) + -mend (from mendac-), giving “a lie meant to comfort,” not to deceive for gain.
Usage note: A solamend is narrower than a white lie: a white lie can spare anyone; a solamend is specifically angled toward the asker’s feelings. If the untruth protects the speaker, it’s not a solamend.
Derivatives:
• solamender n. one who often speaks in solamends
• solamendingly adv. in a protective, comfort-first way

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.
