A term used to describe the essential beauty of contemporary wall art (graffiti) through the oxymoronic relationship between calligraphy (meaning decorative hand writing) and graffiti (meaning writing scribbled or scratched on something); fundamentally, graffiti is calligraphy.

Early graffiti artists such as Dondi were influential in turning calligraffiti into a well respected art form.
The calligraffiti on 5th Avenue extremely beautiful.
There is a debate on whether or not to teach calligraffiti as part of the art curriculum in schools.

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.
