These "Urgent Care Centers" that are popping-up all over the U.S. are collecting several slang terms, the most popular seems to be "doc. in a box" as many of these facilities are free standing structures (boxes) and have either a doctor (doc.) and/or sometimes a "nurse practitioner" who operates under the supervision of a doctor. Another slang term sometimes heard is "band aid station" but that term is most often used as slang for a small rural or regional hospital due to them being (at times) under staffed or equipped for more major procedures. Either one refers to a small medical facility/clinic.

I broke my arm at work yesterday and my employer sent me to the doc in a box to get it splinted. I'm going to get more x-rays and a follow-up with a specialist tomorrow.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
