Adapt or die
The infamous catchphrase of PW Botha,delivered in his growling TV speeches during the late 1980s. Basically: "Whites must reform apartheid a bit or face total collapse from unrest, sanctions, and the ANC — adapt or die." It became a dark meme for his stubborn "Total Strategy" — pretend to change while cracking down harder with states of emergency, troops in townships, and cross-border raids.
Township response? Comrades flipped it: "We won't adapt — apartheid must die." Turned his threat into fuel for the struggle.

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.
