I approve this message

A suffix-phrase attached to the end of any sentence, especially insults, to make you sound like a douche-bag politician. Particularly useful in accentuating the in-your-faceness of an insult.

Listen Bob, I'm tired of finding dirty dishes in the sink and picking up the dirty boxers you leave all over the bedroom. Get your ass in gear, you slovenly piece of crap, or I'll walk right out that door forever--Oh I will--but not before shoving your disgusting underwear down your throat.

I'm your girlfriend, and I approve this message.

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?
