This 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. | ||

Interesting question. I've never heard "relocators" used in this context, only "transplants." And I am familiar with that usage across cities etc. | ||

"Transplants" is a common term nationwide. In Oregon, we often refer to people moving from California as transplants. | ||
