narcotourism

Narcotourism (noun) a compound of narco(tic) and tourism.

Narcotourism is the practice of travelling abroad from one's home or resident country with the express intention of procuring and using substances perhaps banned or prohibitively expense where one lives.

Not unlike reverse osmosis, i.e. one travels from a place of a low concenration of drugs to a place of a high concentration.

It is unlikely that the World Tourism Organization will ever endorse narcotourism.

Refugeebee

The root of the noun refugeebee is an amalgam of refugee and GB – short for Great Britain.

A refugeebee is not simply a Briton who has gone to live abroad; the term expat or expatriate covers such people adequately.

A refugeebee is generally assumed to be a Briton who has either exiled him- or herself ex of the UK, or – in some cases – perhaps fled to other shores.

This phrase does not appear to have been used before 2004 and has, to date, been used very infrequently, with the contributor having found one reference in The Telegraph Property section of April 9, 2005.

The writer of the article was Michael White.

“The refugeebees of Phuket or Provence are the same; they whine about the lack of Tetley Teabags and McVitie’s Digestive Biscuits on the supermarket shelves.”
