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!”

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
