#160 Mongoose,

My usage. It is an acronym for Those Who Are No Longer Our Countrymen. Given the nature of the Cold Civil War, and the rising temperature; we are beyond mere differences between Democrat and Republican, or even Left and Right. At this point we do not share a culture, a language [we use the same words, but they convey totally different meanings], or a view of how the world is. Indeed, there is as much difference between us and Wahabists as between us and those I refer to as TWANLOC. Mind you, Wahabists and TWANLOC are not the same, just both are different from us along different axis’. They do share on thing, which leads to a degree of mutual support between them. It is a belief that “The enemy of my enemy (in this case us) is my friend.”.

The acronym works for me, YMMV.
