Predawing
A not-exactly-affectionate term used to describe people from Michigan who moved to Middle Tennessee - mostly to find work in the auto industry thanks to problems in Detroit - and decide to root for Middle Tennessee's National Hockey League team, the Nashville Predators, while retaining their allegiance to the Detroit Red Wings.
The term is mostly used when the Red Wings and Predators play at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, although the amount of games the now-former Central Division rivals will play against one another will greatly decrease beginning with the 2013-14 NHL season, where realignment will send Detroit to the Eastern Conference, with Nashville remaining in the Western Conference.

"So, the Red Wings are in town to take on the Preds tonight. Wanna go?"
"Sure. Let me just go home, and grab my Red Wings gear."
"WHAT?! I thought you started rooting for the Predators since you moved down here?!"
"Yeah, but the Wings are still my #1."
"You Predawing!"
