Shelbows 

A continuation of the shoulders over the elbows. Similar to "cankles," but on the arm.

This phenomenon occurs when the fatty portion of the shoulder is too much to contain to the upper arm alone, thus it overlaps the elbow and continues on the forearm. It is possible for this to continue all the way to the hand, as with 'cankles.'
"Her shelbows looked like the end of a hot dog sticking out of the bun."

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.
