The word evacuee or evac is getting stale to my mind.
Anybody heard some better slang for it or have any ideas?
And on a similar note, a slang for the evac -hosts- who are among the unsung heroes in all this. Screwing up their daily life to house folks, probably long after the romance wears out...
I come up blank on it, but it’s probably just a little too much of the SO2 doing its magic.
Cheers,
Kirt

Some dude from HA "evacuated" to the Pahoa refugee center the first week of the eruption. Due to vog.

Evacuee posers? That's degrading oneself to the lowest degree when there are real people in a horrible sad situation.
Slang? How about despicable?

Sad is that many are saying they've never been homeless before. It's surreal. BTW, camping gear is a necessity now for those living in tents. Blow up mattresses, futons....
