“City Limits” The Colossus of New York
“For that new transplant from Des Moines, who is starting her first week of work at a Park Avenue South Insurance firm.”
When i first read this and saw transplant i automically thought of something related to the medical field. However, the definition shows me there is more than one context that the word can be used in. The definition states an object including a person can be removed to one place to another. This is what the sentence was referring to, that Moines had been relocated.
