a Detroit original: the stripmall infested corporate diamond mines, geographically located just outside of the city boundaries, otherwise known as the SUBURBS. The first part of name describes the area's contributions to it's parental city's resources. The second part of the word is just ironic. Also the home of the WASTE-OID.
We drove through miles of wastelands on our journey to the city, stopping only once for a burger named mac and a biggie fry.

A "Wasteland" is an alternate name for a Butt-hole, Rectum, Anus, Rusty Sheriff's Badge or Chocolate Start fish. It is generally dark, dank, smelly and moist.
Welcome to my wasteland where you will hear my thunder, see my lightening, and feel my wrath imposed upon you.

A Detroit original: any strip mall infested suburban community that sits directly outside of the city limits, but for some reason still considers itself part of the city, despite its obvious geographic, architectural, social, and cultural differences.

A wastelander is a term used for anyone living on the US(rather Canadian) territory, inspired by a post-apocalyptic game series, Fallout. According to those games, after a nuclear war current US territory would be a wasted land with no trees or pure water, inhabited by ghouls, mutants and chinks.
—Why hello there wastelander, whatcha doin in our neck of the... well, what do you want?
—Hello my canuck friend. I was searching for a tree, a green one, for my studies. Do you have trees in your lands?
—No, thanks to you and commies! All we have is nuclear snow desert.

I just finished reading 'Wasteland'. It was actually really depressing in a sense. Poetically depressing. A lot of emotion coursed through those words on these pages, giving you an almost inside depth into these characters minds...at least for me anyway. Despite the short length (took me about half an hour to read), the story itself makes up for it. I can see the reason why so many summaries written about this book say its aimed for more sophisticated readers. With the authors writing style, and with the plot as well, which deals with a sensitive subject, incest, it makes the reason quite evident already. Overall, I just like the book, the idea, everything. I don't like reviews that reveals the whole plot...so, I just recommended you to read this book if you like stories with depth, and raw emotion.

Someone who rejects relationships and chooses to go it alone; lonely and miserable they still persevere in a wasteland of their own creation.

Spending time doing pointless bullshit or being otherwise unproductive. Wastelanding is usually an enjoyable activity (such as watching TV or playing video games) but ultimately a complete waste of time and of existence. Also known as "wasting away".
