Is "transplants" a San Francisco slang for relocators?
- denalii 8mo agoIt's not specific to SF but more or less yes
- forbiddenvoid 8mo agoThis has been common parlance in much of the US for a long time. I would hesitate to even call it slang at this point. It's a pretty commonly used term.
- arvid-lind 8mo agoLots of transplants in Colorado too.
- runako 8mo agoInteresting question. I've never heard "relocators" used in this context, only "transplants." And I am familiar with that usage across cities etc.
- Sohcahtoa82 8mo ago"Transplants" is a common term nationwide. In Oregon, we often refer to people moving from California as transplants.
