UK equivalent of "stateside"

The term stateside means "in the United States", is there an equivalent word for the UK, or any other country?

Some examples might be: "It feels weird being stateside again." or "I'll be stateside next week."

I imagine it could be kingdomside or even queenside, but I've never heard anything like that.


Solution 1:

The nearest equivalent for the UK is probably Blighty. This is defined by Lexico as

An informal term for Britain or England, used by soldiers of the First and Second World Wars.

The origin is thought to be the Urdu word bilāyatī meaning 'foreign' or 'european'

"Blighty" is used much less frequently than it used to be, it was most common in the first half of the last century, mainly n the military and is used in the phrase "in Blighty" as in "When I'm back in Blighty" or in a 1950s folk song "The shores of Old Blighty"

An interesting other use was the term "a Blighty one" which meant, in the trenches of WW1, an injury which was severe enough to need repatriation of the soldier but might not be severe enough to disable him permanently.
