uburbanite

Pronounced U-burbanite, from suburbanite.

Students of a large university, or residents of the surrounding area, whose lives (whether or not they like it) are impacted by the U on a daily basis.

Inspired by the University of Minnesota's annoying habit of using the capital letter "U" whenever possible, up to the point of subsituting it for the word "you" whenever possible. This author is sure that other universities have a similar tendancies, but she has not experienced them.
The Uburbanites are up in arms about the new stadium proposal.

The Uburbanites mobbed the University's office, demanding the return of the word "you."

doorwall 

A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.
