Zygomaticous
The lexeme "zygomaticous" is semantically encapsulated within the realm of facial anatomy, specifically signifying the zygomatic muscles, intrinsically tasked with the dynamic modulation and regulation of the bilateral osseous prominences known as the cheekbones. Etymologically rooted in the adjective "zygomatic," pertinently linked to the zygoma—an osseous arch delineating the cheekbone—the term "zygomaticous" intricately delves into the domain of facial physiology, elucidating the multifaceted role of the aforementioned muscles in orchestrating and finely tuning facial expressions, with a particular emphasis on those emotive gestures associated with the act of smiling.
"After telling the amusing story, his zygomaticous muscles contracted, creating a cheerful and infectious smile that lit up the entire room."
"As the comedian delivered his punchline, the audience erupted into laughter, and the zygomaticous muscles of many attendees were engaged, reflecting the joyous atmosphere in the room."
"Her zygomaticous muscles twitched into action as she shared a delightful moment with her friends, their laughter echoing in the air."

Blexas
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.

Ratfucker
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.
