Loser Back Home. An ex-pat, usually white
male, who is unremarkable in his home
country, but thinks of himself as hot shit in a foreign
country.
Ted is an LBH in
Vancouver, but when he studied in Beijing in the 1970s he found some popularity among local folk who've never seen a white
guy before. They laughed at all his jokes and made him feel more
special than he'd ever felt in Canada.
