michiganize 

To adapt software, systems, or processes to the University of Michigan way by stripping out key functionality, devolving the user interface, and adding maize and blue colors.

To prioritize form over functionality.

To reinforce institutional values of tradition, stubbornness, and elitism.
That app is way too powerful and easy to use. Let's michiganize it.

So what if hundreds of other organizations use this thing straight out of the box with great success? Michigan is special. Michiganize it!

We're not buying this phenomenal thing unless we can michiganize it.

Michelanian

to be so fat that one is a descendant or eluding to possible relation to thee "Michelin Man" (man made of tires, cartoon)
Instead of saying, "Shut your fat ass up."

One would say, "Shut your Michelanian butt up."

Another way to use could be

"Move your Michelanian self out of my way."

or
"Keep your Michelanian mouth shut."
