n:Someone who has left their home far away and feels lost in their new environment, however when they go back home, they find the new environment has changed them so they now feel lost in both places.
The word originates from the life of Minik Wallace, one of six Inuit brought to the USA from Greenland in 1897 by explorer Robert Peary.
“When I went home for Thanksgiving, I felt like a minik, it had been so long.”

“Since I’ve moved here, I’m a minik in everything I do. Totally displaced.”

"You grew up here and you forgot where the market is? You’re such a minik!”

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
