I find the term “ratfucking” to be icky. Is there a way I can ratfuck without having to say ratfuck?

Thank you in advance.

The US intelligence and special ops community has a number of long-established euphemisms (as well as a new-and-shiny 9/11-changed-everything ones). If you really need to think of what you’re doing as something other than what it is, try something like “operations in the information battlespace”. But avoidance of euphemism is probably healthier.

Recommended reading, for this and other reasons:
