For what it’s worth – when I was first using TV Tropes, whenever I saw the term I always assumed an “enemy mine” must mean some sort of resource where fresh supplies of opponents spring from for the heroes to face: i.e. a ‘mine’ of enemies. In other words, any location (seen, unseen, implied or presumed) where it seems the hordes of {{Mook}}s, the latest MonsterOfTheWeek or each addition to an ever-growing RoguesGallery must pop out of in order, for the protagonists to keep having things to deal with. Onscreen examples would be Orthanc or the Barad-Dûr in \'\'Film/TheLordOfTheRings\'\' spawning endless legions of Uruks, Orcs and so forth, or the Kamino cloning facilities in \'\'Film/AttackOfTheClones\'\' churning out legions of troopers for the Galactic Republic.

^ That’s my thoughts exactly. Given that so many trope names – even long-established ones for commonly-used pages – have been cleaned up over the past few years because they were jargony, niche references or otherwise non-indicative, it baffles me why this weird one still remains. People were querying this on this very page in 2010, for heaven\'s sake.

And it doesn’t include the word “mine”, so how it can be said to shorten to Enemy Mine I have no idea. You might as well have ‘shortened’ it to Enmity My, as that would make no more or less sense.
