A common situation occurring when plans are made between you and your friends, and you are stuck waiting on that one specific person. The person is then claimed to be using a schedule plan titled 'cacioppo time'.

i.e. If you make plans to go to the mall at 1PM, and everybody is ready to go and there's still that one person who hasn't even taken a shower due to the deliciousness of his mom's porchetta.

Cowan (calls Matt): 'Please enjoy your music while your party answers the phone' "Party rock is in the hoooooouse toniiiight. Everybody just have a good ti-"
MC: Yo
Cowan: Matt it's 1:00 where are you?
MC: Yeah I'm bout to get in the shower now and then I'll be ready in like 20 minutes.

Stru (calls Matt): 'Please enjoy your music while your party answers the phone' "Party rock is in the hoooooouse toniiiight. Everybody just have a good ti-"

Stru: Matt wtf it's 6:00 where are you?
MC: Yeah I just got out the shower I gotta get dressed and then eat some stuffed shells and then I'll be at your house.

(Repeat countless amount of times until day is over)

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?
