Applesplaining 

Applesplaining is a term that describes a situation similar to mansplaining but specifically when it is being done by a person named Apple. The term is a playful blend of "Apple," the name, and "explaining." Just like mansplaining, applesplaining involves condescendingly explaining something to someone, typically a topic in which the person being "applesplained" is already knowledgeable or competent.

Origins:
The term "applesplaining" likely emerged as an evolution of the concept of "mansplaining," which gained popularity as a way to describe situations where men patronizingly explain things to women. It humorously incorporates the name "Apple" to create a distinctive term for such behavior exhibited by someone with that name.
"Ugh, I was talking about the latest advancements in quantum mechanics, and Apple totally started applesplaining it to me as if I didn't know anything about the subject."

"I can't stand how Apple keeps applesplaining politics to everyone in the room, even though they have little understanding of the topic."

ablesplaining

Ablesplaining is a patronizing "explanation" of any aspect of disability from someone who does not have the lived experience of being disabled. An ablesplainer's opinion is often shared without request and with a grossly inflated sense of entitlement. Don't be an ablesplainer.
Stop defending your words. You are ablesplaining!

i.e.
"I can use words like stupid, retard, moron, and idiot because they are just language and aren't meant to offend anyone."

"But you don't look like you have a disability!"

"Look at that person parking in an accessible parking space! They don't need a wheelchair so they are just taking advantage of the system."

"That child doesn't look autistic to me, the parents just need to discipline him/her."

"We are in compliance with ADA because we have wheelchair ramps and accessible bathroom stalls."

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.
