a person working outside their own country, sometimes on a fat corporate contract, sometimes as a foreign expert, sometimes just as an English teacher.

Often their pay is considerably higher than the locals and they live a life of wanton pleasure while working as little as possible.

Other times, like as an English teacher, they live better than locals but not by much and spend their leisure time searching for the best deals on local beer.

Female ex-pats tend not to get laid and grudgingly accept celibacy. Largely because they don't like the locals and the male ex-pats aren't interested in them.

The male ex-pats often receive underserved hero/rock star status from the locals, especially in Asia, and get more local pussy than they know what to do with. Which is why they ignore the ex-pat females.
Dude #1: "Hey mate, why is that ex-pat chick always so bitter and grouchy?"
Dude #2: "Because she hasn't had sex since she arrived in Asia."
Dude #1 "Really? Damn, I'm in ex-pat heaven with all the local action I'm getting. I couldn't get laid to save my life back in the UK".

The Opposite of an empathic person. Instead of picking up on people's emotions. The individual's emotions begin to creep into those around them.
I watched him speak, I could feel his emotions flowing through me and everyone in the room. This wasn't just an Empath, able to listen and understand, He was an Ex-path, We felt his strength and Dedication flow through us as well.

opportunistic expat

a person who moves from a developed country to an developing country with the intention of enjoying an easier way of life, often at the expense of the locals. For example, many English teachers in East Asia like to convince others that they are serving or sacrificing for the populations in which they live and work for a salary far above local wages, but in reality, they are taking advantage of the people living in the host country.
Many of the opportunistic expats in Bangkok who frequent the city's whore houses must pretend that human trafficking does not exist.
A word North Americans and Western Europeans like to use to avoid calling themselves immigrants.

Expat Hipster 

Someone who has lived abroad for so long that while technically American, they feel they are as cool as the locals. Originally coined by D.K.
When you are walking down the street in Dushanbe and give another American "the nod", if they totally blow you off; that is an Expat Hipster.
