glomar response 

A response that neither confirms nor denies the existence or nonexistence.

My source is
DOD regulation 5400.7 paragraphs C3.2.1.6.5 and C3.2.1.7.1.3.1 These paragraphs have to do with the freedom of information act (FOIA). It is a method of denying information considered exempt by the act.

The first time was used was a response from the CIA to a FOIA request. It was dealing with the Glomar Explorer, a ship supposedly built to recover a sunken russian sub. That is how it got its name.
The accused responded with a glomar response. His exact words were "I can neither confirm nor deny my presence at that donut shop during they day and time stated."

Someone that's never at "home," in the traditional sense of the word, but somehow always feels at home.

A glomad defines home as any place they are or want to be. A glomad travels freely, lingering as long as they desire, creating ties in a new world without borders.

Their lives maybe spent on couches, hostels, short-term rentals but are defined by the incredibleness of their experiences.

Entrepreneurs, remote workers, digital workers all fall into this category

An Italian-American slang word used to describe an on-the-side girlfriend.

Strangely, this word originates from "comare," which is a word for the godmother of one's child. Alternatively, the godfather of one's child is a "compare."

These words are also used to describe a very close friend who isn't necessarily the godmother of your children.
Traditional:
"I don't trust anyone more than my goomara when it comes to taking care of my baby."

Contemporary:
"He's not here with his wife tonight, but his goomara, instead."
