Without reading your profile information, I figured you were from Nova Scotia from the first sentence of your comment. I don't think I know of any other places that use "come-from-away."

I have been on this site for almost 38 years. To some of my neighbours, I am the guy from away a local girl met at university and brought home.
A decade ago, I was playing with a group and it struck me that of the 9 folks, only three of us were born in Nova Scotia. The rest came from other parts of Canada, the USA or the UK. It is that sort of community.
Frankly, you shouldn't give a darn.
