Citiot (city + idiot)
A “citiot” (city + idiot) is someone from the city (most commonly New York City) who spends time in the country or in a summer residence. The term “citiot” is very popular in the Hamptons and is the reverse label of “country bumpkin,” “rube,” “yokel,” and “hick (from the sticks).”
“Citiot” has been cited in print since at least 1997 and 1998.

I, Citiot
A move upstate promised a real house, decent public schools, all the trappings of the normal life we just couldn’t pull off in the city. Perhaps you’ve dreamed of it, too. The difference is, we actually did it — and it proved to be anything but normal.
