Stairwell Inspector

1. (noun) slang term for a person (usually who has a significant other already) who has illicit meetings with a sexy co-worker in the building stairwells, for purposes of making-out. An experienced STAIRWELL INSPECTOR will likely have accomplished fully-clothed oral sex sessions, and perhaps even fully clothed doggy-style intercourse on the railing.
Dude is a serious STAIRWELL INSPECTOR! That's the third secretary he's made out with down there this month!

Stairwell Tour

as in "takin' the Stairwell Tour". To become so crunk you make insane assumptions like the hotel doesn't have an elevator (because you can't locate it) so you take the stairwell as the only option.
Sheila: "Dude, where's Amy? We came into the lobby together but I can't find her now!"
Rob: "Well, she tried to get on top of the table at the bar, so...prolly took the Stairwell Tour."
Or "Better check it Willis or you're gonna be takin' the Stairwell Your."

When two People (A+N) go to 3rd base under the stairwell in the school while friends wait for them to finish the job. Especially performed between classes. The act of being obnoxious in school and thinking you have the right to have a guys finger up your pussy in a dirty corner.
Noises come from the corner as his finger plunges deeper into her vaginal trench. The backpacks of the 2 stairwell strippers wait while his grasp upon her ass tightens and the makeout becomes vigorous.

"Good thing u wore a short skirt and a clear thong so the job was short and sweet" said the stairwell stripper as his tongue lead the way towards her tonsils.
