Short for Trotskyist. Usually but not always an offensive term, used by opponents of Trotskyism of both left and right persuasions (usually as a descriptive noun, "the trots").
In some settings, such as the National Union of Students, the insult is so pervasive that anyone to the left of Hitler is liable to be labelled a "trot" at one point or another, because the NUS right-wing associate any challenge to their rule with a conspiracy allegedly initiated by a long-defunct Trotskyist group called Socialist Organiser.
The term also crops up sometimes in anarchist and ecological attacks on Trotskyists. It is also occasionally used by Trotskyists themselves, apparently as a "reclaimed" term, only heard within the Trotskyist in-group, although this is contentious and some reject the term completely.
Its derogatory implications probably come from its associations with the trots in its other sense.

City in southern Kalte, a trading post under the nominal control of Sommerlund, which acts as a basis for trade with the Ice Barbarians. Sometimes listed as the capital of Kalte, although its role is not to control the vast icy area, but simply to act as a trading post.
The name-form is not Sommlending, so presumably is derived from an earlier village or notable landmark of the same name, in the language of Kalte.

Lone Wolf visits the city of Ljuk in Lone Wolf 3: The Caverns of Kalte, and it is from here that his mission to find Vonotar begins.

Word invented by George W Bush because he's an idiotic stupid moronic cunt who can't even string a sentence together.
He either means misunderstood or underestimated.
