I’m an expat from my home state of Florida. It’s sort of a play on words and concepts. I’ll engage in whatever wordplay I see fit, particularly when formulating a nickname/username.
By the way, who died and made you the username police? Seriously, lighten up, Francis.
Expat, short for expatriate is defined in every dictionary I know of as someone who is exiled from his “patria” which means his home country. So.............since you claim not to live outside the states, obviously you have taken the liberty of redefining a known word and its meaning. On what authority?
