The vaguely-triangular strip of road separating a highway exit from the actual off-ramp. So named because drivers will use the space to stop and make decisions, merge through to the off-ramp after making split-second decisions, and/or crash into water-filled barrels or exit signs contained therein after failing to properly make a decision.
(To a passenger) Did you see that guy cut through the decision lane?
(To another driver) Nice use of the decision lane, idiot!
(Relating a story) Ted really needed to stop, so he parked in the decision lane.
(Relating directions) You can merge off the ramp that's next to the decision lane without any barrels.
Phrase popularized by the 2nd series finale of the BBC programme Sherlock--put simply, not one's responsibility, strong suit, or "area."

Mom: please put the laundry in the dryer.
Me: Not our division. (You can say "not my division," but definition wouldn't let me.)
Similar to Cocaine Decision an irrationally optimistic impulsive decision to start a vintage or retro small business, with no idea of who will actually pay good money for the flowery-heart-craft-thing, wavy hair or indeed cupcake, that is proposed.
"It's on handmade paper with natural dyes and each one takes 2 hours of my time so I think fifteen pounds for a birthday card is fair, right?"
"I love the whole retro look and at least 2 of my friends bought some off me so everyone will..."
"Have you thought that through? sounds like a cupcake decision to me..."
Decision stream - a statistic-based supervised learning technique that generates a deep directed acyclic graph of decision rules to solve classification and regression tasks

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!"

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.
