Textsomnia

The inability to get a decent night's sleep because of one's self-imposed obligation to read and reply to every single late night text. This thus results in a long drawn out dialogue which probably would have only lasted about 5 minutes over the phone.

An ailment often experienced by people who feel so self-important that must respond immediately to every form of technological communication.
Boss: Why are you so lethargic and lackluster at the office today?

Employee: I'm suffering from textsomnia. I couldn't get a wink of sleep last night because my friend kept texting me about the most random stuff...like Moby Dick...and floggings...and the caloric count of coconuts.

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.

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.
