Beijinger
 n.— «For Beijingers, that means that not only are the Fragrant Hills on the western outskirts of the city often obscured by a foul, grey pollution haze, but it can be difficult to make out buildings a few hundred yards away.» —“Beijingers will need their masks. There are no more ‘clean air’ days” by David Eimer in Beijing Independent (London, England) Oct. 19, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
