What's a boater again?

Some people have been wondering: what is a boater?

I found it on Urban Dictionary.  Apparently, it's a Detroit thing!  Check it out:

There are several definitions, this is the best one...

 boater

A person who has recently immigrated to America. A first-generation born American may also exhibit "boater" tendencies. The opposite of being "Americanized." A term commonly used in the Detroit, MI area.

Boater tendencies may include:

- canning your own foods, having a large garden, or making your own wine or lunch meats.

-having an uncircumcised penis.

-living at home with your parents until marriage.

-wearing fashionable European clothes such as Armani Exchange or Versace.

-growing up idolizing European soccer stars. 

-wearing lots of cologne or gel

-getting hit by your mother or father well into your 20's.

Having a kitchen in your basement is very boater!  
Having a refrigerator in your garage is very boater!
