opportunistic expat

a person who moves from a developed country to an developing country with the intention of enjoying an easier way of life, often at the expense of the locals. For example, many English teachers in East Asia like to convince others that they are serving or sacrificing for the populations in which they live and work for a salary far above local wages, but in reality, they are taking advantage of the people living in the host country.
Many of the opportunistic expats in Bangkok who frequent the city's whore houses must pretend that human trafficking does not exist.

ekrpat nafrgy means "dvorak layout" when converting the entered keys on a QWERTY keyboard layout to the Dvorak keyboard layout.
ekrpat nafrgy is usually typed by QWERTY users after trying the Dvorak layout for the first time.

Instead of first looking up an image or pattern of the Dvorak layout to memorize all the keys, they first switch to the Dvorak layout and afterwards desperately google the layout by typing "ekrpat nafrgy" because they don't actually know where all the keys are.
Hey dude, do you know how I can type "dvorak layout" using the Dvorak layout? I just switched from QWERTY and all I can type is "ekrpat nafrgy".
