Sknowbird 

An ego-driven expat or long term tourist who appoints themself a "local expert" or "know it all" because they live or have lived part time in a foreign country on an annual basis. They often think their experiential knowledge exceeds those selfless expats or immigrants that live in the same foreign country full-time. They also often "troll" on Social Media, giving advice or criticizing others who are trying to help visitors or new expats to the area. As soon as it warms up back in their "home" country, they retreat until the cold weather inspires their return the following year.
I have lived here for over two years now and today I had an arrogant Sknowbird give me some unsolicited advice about how to best live here in Mexico.

topless snowbirds 

This term refers to those Canadian women who sojourn in Southern Florida, losing their bikini tops and inhibitions along the way for the duration.
Since she was so far away from Hamilton, Françoise indulged in a few mai tais and joined the ranks of the topless snowbirds. She mused, "Maybe a little fling with one of the cute guys by the pool." Florida is a nice place where what happens in Florida, stays in Florida. No back-home consequences!

Snowbird 

Elderly people who travel to Florida during the winter months. They arrive after Thanksgiving, go home for Christmas and come back the day after New Years and stay until Early April.

They clog the restaurants and the roads (driving 20mph under the limit) and love to pull out in front of you when there's no one behind you. Anyone growing up in Central and South Florida will have the opportunity to learn what all the license plates of the US and Canada look like. Only benefit is these people bring their money and stimulate the economy.
Kid: "Dad why did that old man from NY just pull out in front of us and drive slow?"
Dad: "Son, its wintertime in Florida, that is a snowbird"

Snowbird 

Elderly people vacationing/invading Florida during the winter months
A canadian snowbird coming to florida on vacation for two weeks on a package deal with $216 to spend. Elderly snowbird couple in a very large car stopped on US41 in the center lane, waiting for 600 or so cars to go past them so they can make the left turn into Denny's. The same elderly couple buying a one dollar lottery ticket at 7/11 and searching thru their purse for correct change.

Snowbird 

Any northerner who migrates to southern states, namely Florida, during the winter months. Recognizable by poor driving habits, pale skin, and funny accents. Snowbirds can often be seen wearing shoes on the beach or blocking traffic by driving 5 under on major roads.
Did you see that snowbird try to surf!? He totally got eaten by that wave!

I went to get a burrito and it took 20 minutes because of all the snowbirds.

snowbird eggs 

Golf balls abandoned by senior citizens who are winter visitors to the community, often left behind after their golf class at the local community college class because they're just too lazy to pick them up.
I think Troy just found some snowbird eggs in that oleander bush over there.
