Absolutely,

Urbandictionary is best archieve for words/phrase/idioms which will not be defined in any normal dictionary. I really love this dictionary and come to it all the time I come across a strange word or phrase.

I used to have difficulty watching movies with English subtitles, then I took an Urbandictionary in the knee.

When talking about a person coming from Hong Kong, we can call them Hong Kong resident, Hong Kong people or Hong Konger (who for one reason or another do not have legal residence status but spent an extensive period of time in Hong Kong or otherwise have a strong cultural connection with Hong Kong)

FYI, also, about Hong Kong, From Wikipedia:

Quote:
Hong Kong[note 3] (Chinese: 香港) is one of two Special Administrative Regions (SARs) of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the other being Macau.

Under the principle of "one country, two systems", Hong Kong has a different political system from mainland China.
Hong Kong has its own flag and emblem.

From all above we can see that Hong Kong could be considered actually a country in many aspects of a country itself.

Therefore when a person comes from Hong Kong, you could and should refer him/her directly to Hong Kong, not necessarily to China.
