Michigander 

1) An awesome person.

2) A sane person who doesn't go crazy when a single snowflake hits the ground.

3) Someone with enough common sense to use an umbrella when it's raining.

4) A person who pronounces things right and uses the right terminology.
1) "Look, isn't she amazing? I wanna be just like her!"
"I know...She must be a Michigander! Damn, I wish I was a Michigander."

2) "Oh look, there's 5 inches of snow on the ground. I'll just drive to work at my normal pace of 60 mph."

3) "Damn, I'm getting all wet."
"You should use an umbrella like Michiganders do."
"That's a great idea!"

4) RIGHT = Oh-ree-gahn; WRONG = Or-ee-gun
RIGHT = pop; WRONG = soda, sodapop, or anything else
RIGHT = pronounceation; WRONG = pronunciation
RIGHT = nuke-yuller; WRONG = nuclear
etc, etc, etc

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.

Michigander 

Usually a complete badass who drives in 10ft of snow on March 21st, then walks to school on the 22nd in 90 degree heat. Can bench press 350, fucks a giraffe and gives birth to an elephant, can get an lady/man, is straight (or a lying POS), and does back flips in his WRX STI, in the snow, sun out, on top of black ice.... drinking Arizona Tea.
Literally anybody: “Daymn, check out that guy! he’s literally giving CPR to a whale.

Everybody else: “That’s no man... that’s a Michigander...”

Michigander: “Sup fuckers come jump on his chest while I give him his breaths!”
