About Ratfucking in brief
Ratfucking is an American slang term for political sabotage or dirty tricks, particularly pertaining to elections. It was brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book which chronicled their investigative reporting of the Watergate affair. The term received media attention in Australia after it was reported that the then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd used the term in a tirade about China at the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Summit.
During the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, candidate Ted Cruz said \”Trump may be a rat, but I have no desire to copulate with him\”, a euphemised reference to the term. A more benign use of the term was commonplace in Southern California college slang from the late 1950s to at least the early 1960s, meaning a prank.
