A somewhat derogatory name for evacuees who fled New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina who now live in Houston, TX or Baton Rouge, LA. The name alludes to the burden the evacuees have places on the infrastructure of said cities. And the lack of one and two bedroom apartments for 9 months after the hurricane hit making it impossible for Houstonians to find housing after there lease was up due to inflated apartment costs.
Many use the term to comment on the increased crime and welfare rates in Houston and Baton Rouge.
Make sure you are packing heat going into the Southwest Ghetto area (Houston), there are a lot of Katrinaites living there now and crime has climbed 38%!
