Etymology: From Detroit + -er.

  1. A native or inhabitant of Detroit.

    “If you're a Detroiter who needs a police officer, it will take 58 minutes to get help -- more than five times what it takes elsewhere in the United States.”

    “Suddenly, the hardscrabble, gritty Detroiters are in need of a savior – someone to rescue us from all this grittiness and strife, because that’s what we’ve been waiting for all this time, right?”
