TED-hed -- noun
A TEDhead person who is an enthusiast of the multidisciplinary lecture series hosted by the nonprofit TED Conferences, LLC ("TED" being short for "Technology, Education, Design"). Taken to extremes, this enthusiasm can lead to someone becoming more than a simple fan or academic, exhibiting some of the negative qualities of a snob, cultist, or otaku.
I watched three lectures before breakfast - one on spider silk genetics, one on using video games to teach, and one on OLPC. I've become a TEDhead!

In colonial times, families grew their own flax to make into fabric for clothing. Transforming the flax into thread was a complicated, involved process with many time-consuming steps. After the flax was harvested, it was soaked in water for several days to soften it so the inner fibers could be removed from the stalk. To separate the long, thin fibers from the shorter, coarser ones, the flax was pulled through a bed of nails or combed in a process called "towing." The shorter fibers that were extricated were of a lesser quality and were called "tow." This led to the term "towheads" to describe people, particularly children, whose hair resembled these strands.
As a child, you were such a toehead!

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.
