Expatreneur

Someone who, while living in a foreign country, commits to the process of starting their own business.

Jim did a three year tour in Seoul where he became an expert on the local cuisine. In true expatreneur fashion, he moved back to Texas and opened a Korean restaurant.

Expat

Short for Expatriate - somebody who has left his or her homeland to live or work in another country, usually for a long period of time.

OR my version:

Expat in Dubai: constantly complaining and rude git with an ego the size of Asia. Other characteristics includes trying to live a lavish lifestyle on a meagre salary and continous road rage

if one of these non-natives gives you lip:

'hey a**hole, don't you get all expat on me!'

Expatbagger

n. A person who elected to ex-patriate themselves around the time of the 2004 elections and are now returning to find a distressed housing market, rock bottom mortgage rates, collapsed stock market and other circumstances that are ripe for exploiting when exchange rates on the dollar are strongly in your favor.

With four more years of Bush looming, Bill left in 2005 to work in Malaysia and is now returning as an expatbagger. He bought a $2M estate for $1.2M...with cash.

expatriate

I'm not sure what new hip meaning it has now, but in whiteyville it means:

One who used to live in this country but now lives in that country.

Sean Penn used to live in America, but he moved to France, because he's a hippie expatriate.

expat tax

The price(not necessarily monetary) that you pay for being a foreign national while not understanding the local language or customs.

Person1: I'm not sure what this charge is on my receipt.
Person2: Do you know how to dispute it in french?
Person1: Nope
Person2: Well, it sounds they are charging you the expat tax.

Non-monetary example:
When you've already said "what?" 3 times and finally you just agree.

Kiwi expat

Kiwi (non-derogatory) meaning a person from New Zealand, or less commonly Australia, and Expat meaning Expatriate. A person from New Zealand who moved to another country (usually on a whim or for work).

"I'm a Kiwi expat, here for a job that pays better than back home."

"Did you see that new intern?"
- "Yeah, I heard she's a Kiwi expat."
"Yup, fresh off a plane on Saturday."
- "For the welcome party, let's give her something with the New Zealand flag on it!"
