ni-ni
n.— «The term “ni-ni” is just an abbreviated label used for political self-definition, but we would rather use “politically non-aligned.” “Ni-ni” may imply that they reject both the government and the opposition. This is not necessarily true. Nor are they a homogenous group. There are groups on the borderline with Chavezism; others on the borderline with opposition, and there are those who hate both of them.» —“The “ni-ni” mystery” by Oscar Medina El Universal (Caracas, Venezuela) Feb. 4, 2006.
