Brooklyn thermostat 

A window open in the dead of winter, as used by tenants of apartments with building-controlled heating (typically steam radiators), which presumably doubles as a basement blast-furnace and would otherwise boil the occupants alive. So-named for its prevalence in the NYC borough and similar metropolitan areas with many pre-war buildings.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
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.
