The deep appreciation and gratitude for states and circumstances beyond one’s control — unmerited gifts recognized as positive and uplifting.

Expanded Definition
Benoria is the deep appreciation, joy, and gratitude arising through awareness of states, circumstances, and experiences beyond one’s control. These unearned and unmerited gifts include, but are not limited to:

• being born and existing
• the time and place of one’s birth
• things taken for granted, such as sunlight, air, and sustenance
• the presence and influence of one’s parents, family, and friends
• the benefit of a positive upbringing or role models
• access to social structures and opportunities
• the observation and experience of natural wonder
• and collective benefits such as medicine, infrastructure, knowledge systems, and education

Benoria may encompass theosophical or spiritual gifts such as grace, providence, or divine favor, yet it is not confined to any religious interpretation. Rather, it includes all manifestations of unmerited goodness, whether understood through a divine, natural, systemic, or humanistic lens.

Benoria is considered on an existential scale and generally excludes direct personal acts of kindness or intentional altruism— but includes actions that form societal or institutional structures that benefit one's life.
• “She stood in silent benoria, watching the sunrise that no one paid for and everyone was given.”
• “In the hush after rain, benoria breathes; the world feels briefly aware of its own generosity.”
• “To live in benoria is to walk gently through borrowed time.”
• “Benoria does not require belief; it requires recognition.”
• “He didn’t speak of faith much, but you could see benoria in the way he treated every day as a gift.”

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.
