Doorwall reminds me of Hosepipe (Off-Topic)

I don't get hosepipe. Most people I've heard use hosepipe for a water hose or garden hose. That's a hose. Hoses are flexible, pipes are rigid. I suppose there could be a material that is semiflexible and made of a more rigid material to fit the idea of the hosepipe.

Doorwall is similar but even more oxymoronic. A door is an opening to pass through verses a wall which is used for blocking off areas. Never heard this term though, and it was an interesting story. I lived in NW Ohio for a while and never heard that term.

Just out of curiosity, do you say creek or "crick" in your area?
