en·clave (nklv, n-)
n.
1. A country or part of a country lying wholly within the boundaries of another.
2. A distinctly bounded area enclosed within a larger unit: ethnic enclaves in a large city.



[French, from Old French enclaver, to enclose, from Vulgar Latin *inclvre : Latin in-, in; see en-1 + Latin clvis, key.]

Detroit (where I grew up) has two enclaves, Highland Park and Hamtramick. I briefly lived in Highland Park. When visiting some folks in Chicago and mentioning that I lived in HP, they misconstrued and thought that I was from the luxurious Highland Park near Chicago. As if that could have ever happened!

High Schools are the most prominate enclave venues I can think of off the top of my pointy little head.

Very funny...and since it took me roughly 30 years to get out of high school, I'd say it is very, very true!

No enclaves for Skinem.
