live-out
 n.— «There are certainly lots of overseas Filipinos in other countries around the world especially in the Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates but the difference with Israel is that not all Filipinos work the same hours. They have different shifts and most of them are, as they refer to it, “live-outs” (not living with their employers) so after their work, they would hang out in the city where one can easily find them.» —“A Filipino will never get lost in Israel” by Jerick Aguilar Philippine Star (Manila) July 12, 2009.
