sea turtle
n.— «At the start, graduates of schools like Stanford and Berkeley who returned to China with an M.B.A were able to command Western-style salaries, so more followed in their wake. Native punsters referred to them as “sea turtles,” a homonym-pun off the term hai gui, or “sea return.”» —“China’s ‘sea turtles’ returning to home shores” by Vera H-C Chan Silicon Valley Business Journal (San Jose, California) Aug. 8, 2005.
