It is said of someone that has been downsized, displaced or severed from a long time corporate career.
Most of the time this results in the loss of stability, identity, structure and community.

One morning during the summer of 2002 I was having coffee with a Director of HR. We were friends, so it was nothing out of the ordinary. Out of the blue he said to me, "We need to find you another job!" That was the beginning of the end of my decades long career with a large corporation and the beginning of a very painful journey as another corporate refugee.

The last hope in a desperate situation, you're last shot to make something work.
Usually works because of the power of sheer desperation.

girl 1: weren't you gonna dump your bf today?
girl 2: yea...but he got down on his knees with a basket of roses and begged me to forgive him...
girl 1: Oh wow. I guess he pulled a prayer of the refugee. You didn't have a chance.

Refers to a group of ethnically exclusionary immigrants that occupy multiple units or residences inside the same apartment building or neighborhood. The term does not necessarily indicate individuals with poor economic conditions.
For instance a large concentration of middle class, immigrant computer programmers residing in close proximity in the same apartment building would create a refugee camp.
The term is especially applicable to immigrants who refuse to interact widely with individuals outside of their own perceived ethnic group.
Such individuals may harbor racist feelings towards other ethnic groups but go unchallenged due to their recent immigrant status.

The rice that comes in the large sacks that are dropped on 3rd world countries. Mix with some ghetto-cheese and you've got one damn good free meal.
I stole some refugee rice from some poor family when i visited Ghana. It was a little stale, but it was damn good.
