Dial-a-Song

The genius method of giving music to the Brooklyn area invented by They Might Be Giants in 1982. Discontinued in 2006 due to technical difficulties, listeners and fans could call the number; (718) 387-6962, and would hear a song which would update more or less regularly almost every day.
Back in the 90s, sometimes I'd call Dial-a-Song and I'd hear a new song every time. Too bad they don't do it anymore.

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?

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.
