Where you come from. Where you live is just where you live, and you are a guest there always, as home is where you come from originally.
For him/her Pennsylvania would always be home, as home is where the heart is. Nothing wrong with that, but trying to be something you're not or calling the locals fools isn't going to get you in anything but trouble.
The guy/girl from Pennsylvania claimed this as his her home too, as much his/her home as the locals, but in realityPennsylvania would always be home for him/her and this would be somewhere he/she lived as long as he/she lived here. He/she was a guest, a visitor, even if he/she had been here a while or was thinking about staying a while (meaning locals were putting up with his/her bullshit even when they didn't have to).
The word is Home. As a 70 year old African American woman I can explain the origin Home as a slang word for a friend. "Home" is a friendly term that African American men call each other. It was originally "Homeboy", meaning a friend from the southern state where many African Americans still have families, calling that place "home". Homeboy was eventually shortened to "Home". Over the years it has been changed to "Holmes" in films and by people who didn't understand the origin of the slang.
