Definition von rex-pat im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

A repeat expatriate, one who becomes ex-patriated a second time

Well what Levy calls rex-pats are nothing more than expats who went home and simply couldn't make it. The failures in question return to Prague because the city allows them to live in a sort of perpetual adolescence. In my research I've discovered that something like 28% of all Prague ex-pats who leave the city return within two years, a terrifying statistic.

Etymologie
