The act of circling the street blocks in a city in the search of a parking spot.
When driving around in a city, you intend on finding a parking spot on the street (usual a metered spot) close to your destination. So you first circle around the block that the destination is located. If none is found, you advance to the next block and circle around it. This is repeated till your successful in finding a parking spot. In reality, this is not a game, it's frustrating.

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?
