Tapli refers to hitting someone on the back of the neck/head with your hand.

It's usually done with a flat palm or the back of your hand - so that it hurts and really annoys the other.

When this is done as a group and everyone plans to hit the target on the back of the neck (with a flat palm), it is called a Laal Batti (translating to the Red Light on the top of police vehicle or ambulance 🚨) as the targets neck becomes a bright red after that.
Mostly used in Hindi:

1: Tapli maarein kya usko? (Should we give him a tapli?)

2: Haan chal (Ye, let's)

American Taliban 

A U.S. citizen and traitorous idiot who was captured in Afghanistan at the start of the war there against the Taliban after the 9/11 attacks. Real name John Walker Lindh, born in Washington D.C., he became radicalized and converted to Islam as a teen, then went to the Mideast to train and fight along with the Taliban punks against the U.S.

Could also refer to any U.S. citizen or resident who lives/lived or was born in the U.S. but becomes a radicalized Muslim and joins forces with the foreign Taliban or Taliban-related group, against the U.S.
I'm worried about Jimmy and his sudden strange behaviors, proclaiming Sharia Law and booking trips to the Mideast for "education." I hope he won't become another American Taliban.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

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.
