Laissez les bons temps rouler 

French for "Let the good times roll." It's a common expression in Louisiana (not in France), though it's almost always spelled incorrectly. This is the one and only correct spelling of the expression, in either Cajun French or Parisian French. Sadly, even reputable institutions like the Audubon Zoo and the New Orleans Ironman 70.3 use variations of incorrect phonetic spellings they find online.

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.
