repatriation

Repatriation(from late Latin repatriare - to restore someone to his homeland) is the process of return of refugees or soldiers to their homes, most notably following a war.
Repatriation also refers to the return of body parts to the nearest relative.
Economic repatriation - This refers to economic measures taken by a country to reduce foreign capital investment.
The term may also refer to the process of converting a foreign currency into the currency of one's own country. When foreign currency is converted back to the currency of the home country it is referred to as repatriation. An example would be an American converting British Pounds back to U.S. Dollars.
The government usually pays the cost of repatriation of the refugees.

Waiter Reparations

Waiter Reparations (1984 – Present day)

Waiter Reparations, slang. A waiter that has been stiffed and under-tipped by the African-American community so many times that he or she believes their obligations for the evils of slavery have already been fulfilled.
“I’ve already paid my fair share to the blacks by the lack of money I did not make when I was waiting tables. I’ve done my part in paying waiter reparations.”
