I was wondering if anyone knew of a name for such a set, namely a subset S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n which at every point x \in S there exists no open subset U of \mathbb{R}^n containing x such that S \cap U is homeomorphic to either \mathbb{R}^m or the half-space \mathbb{H}^m = \{(y_1,...,y_m) \in \mathbb{R}^m : y_m \geq 0\} for any integer m \geq 0. Of course, any set for which such open sets U exists for every x is called an embedded manifold with boundary. I'm looking for the opposite notion, in a sense.
