halfback

A person originally from the northeastern U.S. who retired to Florida only to later move "half way back" to the southern Appalachian mountains.

A couple of halfbacks bought the old farm on brushy fork. Say they're gonna raise pink flamingos or something like that.

Halfback

A flight where you fly over your destination to an airport out of the way to change planes and fly to your destination.

Man1:"I am flying from Pittsburgh to Atlanta, then changing planes to fly back northward to Asheville."

Man2: "So your doing a halfback."

half-back

American Northerners (Yankees to Southerners) who move to the South, particularly Florida, who decide they can't stand the heat and humidity or hurricanes, and end up moving only half way back home, as in Tennessee, Georgia, SC, etc.

"This used to be a nice town, but it's being ruined by all the damn half-backs!"

halfbacker

A person who originated from the Northeastern region of the United States (where it is commonly very cold and overcrowded), moved to Florida (where it is commonly very hot and overcrowded) and subsequently moved half-way back to the Northeast in hopes this unexploited region would provide cheap lobor and moderate weather. It seems their final choice in residence depends heavily on the route they took during their original migration to Florida, as the majority of halfbackers reside within a short drive of I-75, I-24 and I-81. Halfbackers often exhibit distinguishing traits such as the formation of densely populated communities, cultivation of foliage indiginous only to Southern Florida and an ironic nostalgic view of life in both Florida and the Northeast.

It's best not to argue with a halfbacker as they have seen much in their exstensive travels and are likely to be far wiser than you.

half back

Term used by Mid-Atlantic state locals to describe a Northerner (aka "Yankee") who moves to Florida to escape the cold winters; only to find it is too hot and moves half way back up the coast to the mid Atlantic states (NC, SC, VA). Typically used in a derogitory manner as is Yankee in many parts of the South.

Wife: Joe and Marge just moved into the neighborhood. They used to live in New Jersey, but moved here from Florida.

Husband: Damn half backs, why don't they stay up North in the first place.
