When giving the name Altland for someone to write out, they are often confused by the transition of 'ltl' thus, often misspelling the name.

An Artistic Language. A subset of constructed languages that are devised principally for the purpose of creative expression.

These include "Fictional Languages", which are for the usage of fictional people but are themselves learnable in the real world like Klingon, Quenya and High Valyrian.

There are also languages that themselves are constructed to be used, at least partially, as the medium of expression like Trollsprak, Lingua Romana and the IS language
Artlangs can be considered a neat way of making your world building truly immersive but they could also be seen as really patting the light bulb.

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.
