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.
