Katrinaite

A somewhat derogatory name for evacuees who fled New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina who now live in Houston, TX or Baton Rouge, LA. The name alludes to the burden the evacuees have places on the infrastructure of said cities. And the lack of one and two bedroom apartments for 9 months after the hurricane hit making it impossible for Houstonians to find housing after there lease was up due to inflated apartment costs.
Many use the term to comment on the increased crime and welfare rates in Houston and Baton Rouge.

Katrinacide 

The indescribably emotion the people of New Orleans felt when they returned home to our city once so full of life coked by water, lashed by wind and burned by fryer. A mixture of longing for the home that had once been so alive, pain at having to resort to looting to get baby formula, and faint hope that someday our beloved city would become the woman that she once was.
The broken old woman griped her rosary and tried to fight of the feeling of katrinacide as the Super Dome shook.

"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
