A name given to a group of people from low-lands by those who live in the highlands, usually with a negative connotation. This term is used in many regions of North America. In Michigan it is used to refer to people from the "downstate" region of the Lower Peninsula, which is considered Saginaw and south. This region is exceptionally flat in comparison to the majority of Northern Lower and Upper Peninsulas. The term can be interchangeable with "city-slicker" or "citidot," because of the complete lack of common-sense many of these tourist conduct themselves with while in rural regions. They ask for directions only using road signs even after explaining to them that most roads in the region lack road signs or change names multiple times without your knowing. In fact, many counties in Northern Michigan did not have addresses and/or road signs until the early 1990's.
Flatlanders, "How do you get to Mackinaw City from here?"
Local, "So you take this road here and take a left at the 24hr Shell station. Next, take a right at the junk yard ten miles past the Shell station."
Flatlanders, "Just give me the road names! I don't care about what I am going to see!"
"There are no road signs, I am trying to give you landmarks. That's how we give directions in the country."
CitySlicker, "I don't care, just give me that damn road names."
"You know that most road names are different on GPS than they are on the few road signs, right? And there is no one for you to sue around here if you get hurt and lost. In the country you die when that happens."

Flatlands: (right before canarsie and mill basin)
is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, The neighborhood borders are roughly delineated by Flatlands Avenue on the North, Avenue U to the South, Ralph Avenue to the East, and Flatbush Avenue to the West. Mostly infamous for The Gemini Lounge, and at one time the headquarters of a notorious Gambino Mafia Family crew that is suspected by the FBI of between 75-200 murders. It was the front half of a two-story brick building located on a corner lot in Flatlands, Brooklyn, with the back half consisting of an apartment dwelling where many victims of the crew were murdered and dismembered. Today the gemini lounge is a church.lol. during the 70's 80's and until the late 90's the neighbrhood was great to raise your family and everyone was close friends, related to or knew "someone" very well. during the late 90's till today the neighborhood became a drug pushing teenager overdosing graffitti fighting idiot land. today the neighborhood is 99% black and during the morning and afternoon everything seems to be ok. but when night falls fuck around and get stabbed up shot up and or locked up. E51 STAND UP! lol
