Duquesne 

to take away something that is good because too many people like it

"Offramp just duquesned the gyro special because it was the most popular meal."

"Duquesne University has decided to duquesne Jesus because he is getting too popular."

DuQuesne 

A place that is separated from but still within a larger place.

Lesotho is a DuQuesne of South Africa.

The party was so crowded, but we were able to create our DuQuesne by rearranging some furniture.

Duquesne 

One of the worst and most desolate hoods in the greater PGH area. Not very well known because it's been on the decline since at least the early 1980s and very few people still live there. It's even more violent and blighted than McKeesport, but on a smaller scale. People get targeted for literally no reason at all, nothing to even rob or take from them except their suffering.

Most remaining houses go for sheriff sale because properties are worth so little there now that sellers struggle to find a buyer at practically any price. $50k would be a fairly nice older house near Kennywood for instance.

Half the lots have been demolished or are rotting apart, although some old timers do take good care of their homes and deserve respect for hangin on the best they can. A few churches and businesses are still operational too and decently taken care of.

Some of us still remember the parades down the avenue, our nice older black neighbors (shout out to Mr. Ed!), getting a pizza from Mario's, beautiful summer mornings at the top of the hill, and the sense that this area used to really be something. It's also the kind of area that could become really beautiful and desirable again if some company were to just dump IDK like a billion dollars' worth of investments into rehabilitating the area and give actual opportunities to the people who live there.

Sadly this is one of those places that for a long time has been super inexpensive for good reasons.

At least McKeesport has its own schools with a wild football team, some parks, stores, services, and some parts of it are better than others. There's no "better" part of Duquesne, even the areas near Kennywood / West Mifflin, it just feels like a wasteland.

Duquesne University 

prop. n.; a Catholic college located in Pittsburgh, PA attended by students either unable to afford the University of Pittsburgh. Freshmen enjoy Duquesne for about three weeks before realizing that, in fact, they do not wish to relive high school socially and academically, or when they realize that they cannot have sex with their significant others without a priest trying to knock down the dorm-room door.

Josh spent his four years at Duquesne University partying on Pitt's campus because having a good time was permitted there.

Duquesneable 

Duquesne Universities ability to make every situation worse.

St Annes having brown water while showering, basic functions on campus that are just not livable or desirable, Administration cancelling Spring Break 2021, Teachers saying they understand the situation of Covid-19 and then assigning a 15 page paper "that's Duquesneable"

Duquesneable 

Whether or not some action, behavior, or decision would be approved by Duquesne University or by the Duquesne student community.

Breaking the law is not very Duquesneable.
