There are a million other sites and pages out there with headings of ExPat Mexico ..... so this, as a new board gets lost in the crowd. Something original/different would show up sooner in Google search .... and possibly attract new users

Open to just about anything but should be somewhat related to the original idea

Do a Google search for your pet phrase first to check popularity

Well, you get a twofer, change the name to match and it's already pointing to your site. Or, I also have http://www.howlingchihuahua.com if you're so inclined?

Naturally, Steve comes up with an X-rated activity that, by definition, can exist only in male circles.

How about EXPAT SPATS? or just EXSPATS? :mrgreen:

Pretty good suggestions Gringal. Appropriate too. Could turn that around into SPATS FOR EXPATS, or in his case SPITTING EXPATS but I like yours better.
Do you think Steve spends a lot of time on those site for lack of anything better to do? He sure does have a lot of them. Lizzy

I have never been comfortable with the word 'expatriate' - to me it is a specific tax status term for British people - and is often used by them as a sort of affectation - as in "I don't give a damn what happens back home - I don't pay tax there, I don't care". Sort of 'rebels without a clue'.

This website has drawn some pretty interesting minds. Topics often stray, but generally Mexico is the central theme. Mexico should be in title, perhaps some friendly, inviting word which means 'meeting place' too. Many of the people who have moved to Mexico, especially the older ones, would have been considered 'mavericks' by their friends and family for even considering Mexico as a place to move/retire to. Unfortunately "Mexico Mavericks" sounds like a soccer team. I could design some cool shirts though!

I think John McCain and Sarah Palin spoiled the word "maverick" for me, permanently. Otherwise, GaryG has a good point.

"Curmudgeon corner" is, uh, a teensy bit negative....but....

How about "MEXIKLATCH"
