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?
On my authority. Get over it.

Are you really Molly Pitcher?
Nope.
On whose authority do you use that name?
Oh, it’s a username/nickname, just like ExpatGator. Got it. Okay for thee but not for me. Typical hypocrite.
