tómbola 

The word itself is Italian and means the tumbler that is used in bingo and raffles.

By poetic extension, it is used the way Americans say "crapshoot' or "the luck of the draw' or lottery or 'numbers game'
The song "La Vida Es Una Tómbola" by Marisol and another version, for Diego Maradona, by Manu Chao is the most famous example. (Life is a raffle)

There's a line in "Evita" that goes:  "She won't help the hungry once a month at your tómbolas / she'll simply take control as / you disappear" (It's from "The Actress Hasn't Learned the Lines").

Tomboland 

A Tomboland is a subspecies of troll, and may in fact be a distant relative to the Spiderus genum, but they are not nearly as entertaining. Whether or not a wild Tomboland is self aware of its troll like niche on the message board is still up for much debate (see: scientific). Tombolands have absolutely zero concept of grammar, and the longer they participate in a thread, the more their social and cognitive skills tend to degenerate. Tombolands usually hail from England, and have been known to try and spew about how the Queen spells words better than any Yank, an unfortunate side effect of never having been taught about the Revolutionary War in history class. Though this should not surprise anybody, as evidence suggests that Tombolands never really learned much outside of basic speech. Once a Tomobland engages in conversation, they will not stop egging on the rest of the board, creating a sort of black hole effect around the topic the sub-troll has decided to leach upon. As more people view the thread, the probability of flame war, closing, or just outright chaos approaches 1. If a Tomboland is sighted, one should report it immediately in order to prevent mass panic and just outright retardedness.
Somebody: "Dude, how are you?"
Tomboland: "No, how IS you?"
Somebody else: "Da fuck?"
Tomboland: "Shutup guyz, gut buck en topic!"
Somebody else: "Your grammar BLOWS!"
Tomboland: "Ur da wun caring on, lulz,"
Somebody: "My god..."
Somebody 3: "Still not Spiderus"
Tomboland: "Huhwhut is you talked about?"
Leonidas: "Madness..."

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.
