Backdoor Bulimia 

Taking Laxatives regularly to exit food from your system before you gain weight. This is exactly the same as traditional Bulimia however the food passes through your anus not your mouth.
Damn Danny, yesterday I had a binge eating session and ate McDonalds, KFC, Burger King and Dominos Pizza. I'm feeling super guilty so I took a few Laxatives and am going to eject all that bad food out my anus before it sticks to my love handles. Love a bit of the old Backdoor Bulimia!

(Bulimia as an inner voice:)
Rue: I haven't eaten in two days. I think all just have a snack.
Bulimia: You should eat as much as possible.

Rue: After eating all of that, I feel awful.
Bulimia: You should feel awful. Go vomit it all up so you don't gain weight.

Academic Bulimia 

The process of learning or memorizing by rote, subsequently followed by the regurgitation of that knowledge onto an exam answer sheet. Just as with the serious eating disorder, this form of bulemia results in no real retention of substance.

This term is frequently applied to describe a common practice of young medical students.
I can't remember anything that I learned last night. It's like I grabbed the answer sheet, puked out all the answers and forgot everything immediately. I'd say that's academic bulimia.

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.
"Bob! John's gonna bring over them doorwalls from Wallsides on Tuesdee afternoon 'round two-thirty. Get 'er done!"

Frothability

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.
