St. Totteringham's Day 

St. Totteringham's Day is the day celebrated by Arsenal F.C. fans when Tottenham Hotspur can no longer finish above Arsenal F.C. in the English Football League by virtue of not being able to catch their rivals, even if they win every remaining game.

Due to its very nature, St Totteringham's Day is moveable and can occur at varying times during the season based on the respective fortunes of Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal F.C..
In 2007 it is anticipated that St. Totteringham's Day will fall on Saturday 21st April when Arsenal F.C. travel to White Hart Lane; home of the Tottenham Hotspurds.

productivity throttling controls 

Security devices and configurations which inhibit or minimize employee productivity. Employee productivity may be impacted by limiting access to information, communication and computing functionality, as well as by limiting computing performance. Controls may block websites, may block communication channels such as IRC, may slow computing devices by using full-disk encryption, antivirus, and spyware, may break applications by performing man-in-the-middle attacks and by misconfiguring applications. For some employees, substantial effort may be expended to find workarounds to bypass controls.

Tim: The productivity throttling controls are misconfigured to arbitrarily disable TLS connections in IE. Go into Tools and enable TLS connections.

The productivity throttling controls won’t allow Firefox to get a critical update that addresses a vulnerability. Now I need to download the update and manually install. What a waste of time.

My workstation is churning away because of having to scan the large email attachment that I received. Because of the productivity throttling controls, I am unable to even switch tabs in my web browser.

Susan the Happy Trotting Elf 

Song about Susan Walker from British sitcom Coupling describing her.
Lyrics:

I'm Susan the happy trotting elf
I trot and trot and bounce and bounce
I smile a lot and that's what counts
I'm Susan, the happy trotting smile a lotting elf
I'm polite so just for clarity
When I'm cross, I say, "Apparent-LY!"
I'm Susan, the happy trotting smile a lotting elf

St. Totteringham's Day 

St Totteringham's Day is an event that has occurred every single year since the 1995-96 English Premier League season. Essentially, it is the day, usually happening in April or May, where it is mathematically impossible for Tottenham Hotspur (hence the name TOTTEringham) to finish higher in the league table than Arsenal - their North London rivals.
In the 2015-16 season, Arsenal shockingly passed Spurs on the last day of the season to finish 2nd. Thus, their fans celebrated St. Totteringham's Day.

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.
