Nomad 0wn3r 

A Nomad 0wn3r is someone who has defeated a large, scary, and exorbitantly difficult boss in a video game. This phrase developed from the popular web MMORPG RuneScape, created by the British game developer JaGeX. With a great disdain for their nooby quest monsters that was only exacerbated by the fact that other popular MMORPGs had much more of a challenging horizon of monsters, JaGeX created a quest that changed the quest paradigm forever.

It used to be that RuneScape quests were generic and formulaic, with the central elements of puzzles and hard boos monsters balanced everything out. However, the quest monsters were insanely easy to defeat and too many people had the highly coveted Quest Cape, a symbol of how a player has beaten every quest. JaGeX, fed up with how every other game supporter vilified RuneScape for it's trite quest monsters, released a quest called "Nomad's Requiem," which is, by far, the hardest RuneScape quest in existence.

Barely anyone could defeat the quest monster Nomad. The quest monster of said quest severely outweighed the quest aspect of puzzles astronomically. One had to have maxed combat skills and sheer dumb luck to defeat this quest monster. It's taken questers, on average, 7-35 tries to defeat Nomad. Being a Nomad 0wn3r is a highly coveted title, as it indicates that the player has defeated the hardest quest monster, or hardest monster in the game.

Nomad Life 

Attractive people under 50 who have used Scandinavian minimalistic ideologies to decorate a space (sometimes a car) and vlog the idea that they barely work and change cities, or countries often, giving the bulk of overworked society a dream. NomadLife is the hashtag, changing hobbies for work is the norm and garnering thousands of followers for free swag is the goal. #NomadLife

Global Nomad 

Global nomad refers to people who are living an international lifestyle. They travel from one country to another without a permanent home or job and their ties to their country of origin have loosened. Most of them work in jobs that are location independent such as IT, writing, teaching, and handicraft.

Nomad originally referred to pastoral nomads who follow their herd according to the seasons. Unlike traditional nomads, global nomads travel alone or in pairs rather than with a family and livestock. They also travel worldwide and via various routes whereas traditional nomads have a fixed annual or seasonal pattern of movement, and although pastoralists are professional travellers, they move in relatively limited areas mostly walking or riding donkeys, horses, and camels. Global nomads, on the other hand, travel worldwide.
The modern-day global nomads' lifestyle has become possible because of fast and relatively cheap transportation methods as well as the communication technologies that enable people to connect in real time across wide geographical distances. Global nomads often come from Western countries. They are privileged actors: they have the financial resources to move (either they have savings or they sell their property or they get a pension) or they have the talent needed to set up a small business venture in their new location. Global nomads also hold passports that allow them to move more or less freely.

Global nomads' lifestyle is characterized by high mobility. They might stay in one place for days to months. However, sometimes the term is also used to refer to lifestyle migrants, who travel between their country of origin and their new, chosen home country.

Global Nomads have travelled continuously, internationally, and many years without a permanent home or a job. A book called Free as a Global Nomad: An Old Tradition with a Modern Twist (Drifting Sands Press, Phoenix, AZ, USA, 2012) contain interviews of 30 Global Nomads and information about the lifestyle.

Have you seen Christian lately?
No, I haven't. He went to London last week, he's supposed to have a date with some hot girl he met on Facebook. Apparently, they talked a lot about sex and figured out they have a lot in common in that area...I bet he'll have a hell of a time like he always do. He's such a sex nomad.
