homme de terre

A farmer or man who lives off the land; also, a miner, a worm finder,etc. Translation of the french "homme de terre": man of the earth. Also can be used in the negative, as in "not an alien". Not to be confused with pomme de terre, the french term for potato.

He's no homme de terre,he's more like a friggin' alien.
That farmer is a real homme de terre.
