Default What does "TALO" mean?

I see this term used quite frequently by any number of manufacturers in regards to various models. Would someone please enlighten me. I apologize if I put this in the wrong section of the forum.

Talo generally means that you get a Smith&Wesson revolver with a pair of $69.00 laser carved "rosewood" {which we all know is of course laminated birch} stocks for about $250.00 more and they call it "Limited" or "Deluxe."

Talo is the fat of a deer right under the skin. Or maybe its a yuppie food that is white and looks like a combination of yogurt and animal fat.

Oh wait, thats TOFU.
