halfpat

An expatriate who is not being provided a "package" (salary bump, housing allowance, car allowance, home leave, etc.) by his employer, and who perhaps is not even formally employed. Halfpats sometimes earn income as "English teachers" but are primarily engaged in the avoidance of real life in their home country.

Jeckle: Nah, he's a halfpat. Teaches English during the day and bangs his students at night.

halfpster

Literally a half-hipster. Usually, a true hipster will not admit to being one to preserve their social independence and obscurity which makes it difficult to pinpoint the difference between hipsters and halfpsters. Many people are not prepared to fully commit to being so superior and hip all the time, causing many people to be classified somewhere within gray area of halfpster-dom. Halfpsters can be identified by the presence of some mainstream music on their playlists, occasional appearance of branded clothing in their wardrobe, and general denial of being wholly and truly hipster.

Hipster Friend: What is this Flo-Rida doing on your iPod? You know how over-produced his stuff is.

Halfpster: Yeah I know, but I like that song. Sue me.
