"macroHard" is a small tech startup company that began in 1971 in Perth, Australia. The company was founded by three unknown, allegedly homosexual men, one of which was struck by lightning in a fatal recreation of Benjamin Franklin's most famous experiment. The two remaining men, low on funds for their startup, joined a carnival in 1974, in a desperate attempt to continue their project. Specializing in self-projection via cannon, they tragically collided mid-air, sprinkling the carnival in a fine red mist, thus bringing macroHard to an end.

macroHard would later be swept under the rug as its most famous competitor, Microsoft made its debut one year after the freak accident. macroHard's most notable achievement is known as DURWEI (pronounced doorway), which was discovered 29 years after its founding, when their former office building, now refurbished for exotic animal sales, burned to the ground, and was found amongst the debris. DURWEI is a low-level turing incomplete Operating System.

If you've heard of Microsoft, you've probably thought of macroHard. Little did you know, it was a real tech startup in the early '70s.

"Man, macroHard really ruined my love for carnivals."
"Macro who?"
"What?"

"Please be quiet during the exam."

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.

caillou

A slang term used to describe a bald person, typically someone who is completely bald or has a closely shaved head. The term is derived from the infamous, hairless kids’ cartoon character of the same name.

Example 1:
“Did you see that caillou over there? His head is reflecting the sun like a disco ball.”
Example 2:
“I think Dave is finally accepting his hair loss. He just went full caillou and shaved the whole thing off.”
