What does 旅宋 actually mean? I hear it from my MIL that refers to Mexican or Migrant workers. I cannot find anything about this term.
I have limited Cantonese knowledge and was only able to find these character after a lot of LLMs. My MIL speaker Cantonese with influences from Toishan and 四邑.
My wife knows that she is referring to workers south of the US border. They’re 3-4 gen Chinese immigrated to the US, so it might be something local.
Anyone know the exact term or etymology?
