Expat is just short for Expatriate . I think it takes on a derogatory meaning when folks spell it ex-patriot, like you are a traitor to country or something for wanting to live somewhere else

. Anyway it just means you live in a country you didn't grow up in ... any country. Here is more than you probably wanted to know:
