"Ah-Duh" is a combination of the "Ah-Hah" moment of realization and the "Duh!" moment of having realized something that should have already been obvious. Ah-Duh therefore captures the feeling one has when one excitedly realizes the obvious and/or believes they've had sudden insight but then realizes they have "re-realized" something they already knew to be the case.
Wow, I just realized I can plug my iPhone into my axillary audio jack in my car and enjoy only the audio of online lectures and debates on Youtube. I normally think of Youtube has being only valuable for video! Ah-Duh!

Ah duh is an expression used when something bad/annoying happens to yourself or a person near to you but it can be viewed in a funny light.

Derived from "ah damn", ah duh was thought to be a more lighthearted expression.

Pronounced "ah duurh", usually used in a combination with a hand gesture of the palm facing up with fingers locked into a "semi-claw" position.
"My girlfriend just dumped me"

Person 2 *hand gesture* + "Ah duh"

Alternatively once the word is understood, the hand gesture may be used in a singular form.

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.
