1. A word that actually means to drum one's fingers, or to strum a stringed instrument in an unskilled manner.

2. A word that is frequently misused to the point of cliché by amateur writers who think it's a hybrid of "throb" and "hum."

It isn't.

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.
