Aliyites are those who follow AL-'Aliyiyyah, a Sufi movement within Zaydi Shia Islam which often incorporates elements of religious syncretism, seemingly influenced by Zoroastrianism, Yoruba African religions, and Buddhism.
Aliyite Muslims believe Imam Ali shares an essence with Jesus Christ, and that the two religious figures shared a common soul of God. Many Aliyites also believe in Orisha Ogun, and that he was one with Imam Ali.

Lots of Sweetgum Kriyul people, especially ethnic Qarsherskiyans, are Aliyites.

Aliyites are part of AL-'Aliyiyyah (Arabic: العليئية), a Sufi movement within Zaydi Shia Islam, which considers the possibility of Zarathustra and the Buddha being prophets whose message may have been corrupted over time, and many of it's followers believe in Orishas from West African religions, believing they were Islamic religious figures, and not deities. Many Aliyites believe Orisha Ogun is one with Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib and that Imam Ali and Jesus Christ share a common essence which is the Soul of God (روح الله).
My Aliyite friend said Orisha Ogun is not a reincarnation of Imam Ali, but a continuation of the life of the first Imam, who is the first and the last (أول و أخر).

The Aliyite Tariqa is a Sufi order within Zaydi Shia Islam that has around one million followers around the world. The Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Tribe in Eastern North America are heavily influenced by Aliyite beliefs, and many of the Ethnic Qarsherskiyans are Aliyites. Many Aliyites believe that Orisha Ogun is one with Imam Ali and that Imam Ali was a continuation of the life of Jesus Christ, and that Jesus is one with Orisha Obatala or Obatallah. These Aliyites also believe the Orishas of the Ifa religion were real and were actually angels, Imams, and prophets whose messages were distorted and who were falsely deified overtime by misguided people.
Many Aliyites believe Imam Ali came to North America either with West African explorers from the Mali Empire or being brought by the angels including angel Jibreel/Gabriel. These Aliyites believe that Imam Ali first stepped foot in North America on a hill that had a Native American encampment on top of it, and Imam Ali gave them dawah, and the sacred Carolina Parakeets (Conuropsis carolinensis) copied Imam Ali's sermons and flew around repeating them, spreading Islam to many Native American tribes.

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.

Frothability 

The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
