I hate to break it to you, but "lone wolf" is a euphemism, not unlike the phrase, "I hate to break it to you." Words are hard, that's why I try to use the same words and expressions over and over and over. Otherwise people do not understand. Unfortunately, such is the medium of communication. I remember people saying that news stories are written for a reader level of a 12 year old. So we are a nation struggling to understand the world, our nation, and the problems therein with the understanding of 12 year-olds...

and then there is the appropriation of the term "white privilege" which from my understanding originated in academia. Now it's a buzz word lacking most of its original useful meaning and context.

until we manage to build a vocabulary for discussing behavior and psychology into the vernacular we will have make due with the language of 12 year-olds to heal the world.
