Remittance Men

I love AvE, he's great. Remittance Men is a term I've heard forever, but I never had clear understanding of just what was going on. Actually, I don't know that I've heard it before, I have come across the term in numerous stories that I have read. AvE's story sounds just like Wikipedia's explanation:

In British history, a remittance man was an emigrant, often from Britain to a British colony, who was supported by regular payments from home on the expectation that he would stay away.

In this sense, remittance means the opposite of today's meaning of money that migrants send to their home countries.
