I've just heard this term being used in quite a derogatory way about a woman who has always lived in or around the village where she grew up.
I know several people who have done this and most of them are very involved in their communities, have lots of friends who go way back and generally seem very happy with their lives.
Yet I've often heard people talk in a slightly disapproving way of adults who've never felt a desire to move far away from their roots. Why I wonder?
