Smurffed Adoptee 

A feeling "blue" coming of age adopted child, whose adoptive parents will not or cannot provide him with information on his or her birth family.

There is only one known worse situation than being condemned to adopted smurffdom. This added predicament comes instantly to mind, when recognized, is that the victim must face the world as a freckle-faced, red-headed, adopted step-child!
"I'm feeling sad and blue," said the smurffed adoptee after newly informed of his non-being status.

Adopteesplaining

Adopteesplaining is when people other than adoptees try to speak for adoptees as if they know what they are thinking, feeling, etc. Many adoptive parents seem to think they are the experts on the adopted experience, when the real experts are the adopted persons themselves. Only the people disconnected from their biological families and given falsified birth certificates can truly describe this experience correctly.

Adopteesplaining is often used by adoptoraptors who adopted a child to fulfill their own selfish needs and desires.
“Five year old Mary has been in foster care for 9 months and is so excited to be adopted by her foster family.” said the adoption agency worker. Mary did not speak for herself. Adopteesplaining was used to project feelings and thoughts about Mary and for Mary.

early adopter 

A person who is typically the first to purchase new technologies before they become popular in an effort to look interesting. They can be easily identified by the dozens of boxes in their basement filled with crap like Nook Ereaders, Zune mp3 players, Google Glasses and AOL email addresses as well as their remarkably small retirement savings accounts.
Our tech startup is failing because we only hired early adopters with attention spans similar to goldfish.

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.

Example 2:
