A brilliant, earth-shattering word that Mary J. Blige invented to accentuate the rhyme-scheme of a masterful song, placing her among the accolades as the Shakespeare of our age.
"Do you want to go to the dancery? "
"Hell yeah, there's no hateration or holleratin' there."

Words you can keep
This word was made popular by Mary J. Blige in her song Family Affair. However, it ends up that's not what she's saying. The correct lyric is "Dance Soiree". A "soiree" is an evening party or gathering typically held in a private home. I suppose that does make a little more sense than dancery.
Everyone was surprised to learn that the song lyric is actually "Dance soiree", not "dancery".

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.
