Expat slang. Same meaning as an LBH or
Loser Back Home. A directionless male expat who leaves his home country for a
developing economy country and is viewed as "handsome" and "
successful" by the local women.
Ted is a total LBH with Suddenly
Handsome Syndrome because he's lived in Asia for over 30 years and is on his third hot wife. Back in
North America, he'd be nothing
more than a pathetic, short, annoying dude who speaks Mandarin.
