5| widewalk (n.)

April 26, 2008

in new subdivisions and gated communities throughout northeast kansas, landscaping features include meadering paths broad enough to ensure concrete-for-grass forfeiture or courtesy stepasides get phased out of residential activity. planners have created an architectural euphamaism: more room means less tacky middle-class sharing and unnecessary subordination. widewalks never get dirty and are most often located within nature-free nature.

contextual use:

  • “…madison, tell your sister chelsea not to push hamilton off the widewalk.”
  • “…is that gum on our widewalk?”
