the win bin 

The win bin is widely regarded by some as the most fantastic place in all existence as it is where all forgotten comments/idealistic scenarios that were once described as being 'win' or used in the context as for the win end up and materialise into perceptual worlds. As such it is believed that if conventional religions such as Christianity, Islam etc. are replaced with new-age religions such as Wozomboism the afterlife will consist of all souls either spending all eternity in the win bin or the wank bank (an endless pit of semen representing all the sins of mankind the worst of which being the increasing amounts of discarded life, casual sex and masturbating, hence the semen).

person 2: yeah?
person 1: don't you think we should write it down or something so we don't forget to do it in case we ever actually get to go into space?
person 2: dude chances are we won't but it won't matter if we do and we've forgotten because then it'll end up in the win bin!
person 1: oh yeah! DUDE I ALMOST CAN'T WAIT TO DIE JUST SO I CAN GO TO THE WIN BIN!

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.
