Rather common, potentially fearsome and almost entirely insane lower-class countryside dweller wont to shouting "GET ARFF MOY LARND!" and pointing a 12-bore at one. Fond of tractors, cider and unpleasant acts with farmyard creatures, he or she serves a purpose. Quite whatthat is, apart from making a good beater and emptying the slurry pit occasionally, is moot.
Not to be confused with the Barbourian, which is a far higher caste of rural inhabitant altogether.
Better somehow, than town-centric, SUV-driving types, whose prisitne vehicles climb nothing higher than the kerb outside the local Waitrose.

Referred to in Blur's Coffee and TV, the agri-yob also features in the film Straw Dogs and in Waugh's novel Scoop.

It isn't very far.
There's people there who will hurt you
Cos of who you are…"

Get the Thairishmug. The root of the noun refugeebee is an amalgam of refugee and GB – short for Great Britain.
A refugeebee is not simply a Briton who has gone to live abroad; the term expat or expatriate covers such people adequately.
A refugeebee is generally assumed to be a Briton who has either exiled him- or herself ex of the UK, or – in some cases – perhaps fled to other shores.
This phrase does not appear to have been used before 2004 and has, to date, been used very infrequently, with the contributor having found one reference in The Telegraph Property section of April 9, 2005.

Imagined SMS exchange*:
A: I am quite enamoured with you.
B: I feel rather passionately disposed towards you.
A: If only...
B: ...we weren't so many shag miles apart?
A: Yes, but it's a measure of my deep-seated lust for you that I will travel around 150 shag miles to see you.
B: I'll be waiting on the bed with my kit off.
