Lana Dedrater

Lana DeDrater was the daughter of Marcus Crassus. When he was killed in the battle of Fagina, Lana ran backwards all the way to Rome to inform Caesar the triumvirate had fallen.

She ran backwards for 100 miles so as to never take her eyes off the enemy.

It is not a coincidence that Lana’s name spelt backwards is a reference to a private body part with learning difficulties- her father Marcus had a wicked sense of humor. After Marcus’s death and Lana’s epic run, when wanting to mock someone playfully in public, Romans would say they had the character of Lana Dedrater.

In modern day and in close running communities, Lana is now recognized as the patron saint of ultra running.

Cornelius my good fellow, you’ve all the traits of Lana Dedrater!

God Shot

A chance happening with profound meaning, an unexpected blessing, a "sign".

Dr. Drew on Celebrity Rehab said "All of a sudden what had been just another Hollywood proposal became for him an unexpected blessing, an opportunity for growth. In drug recovery language, that's called a "God shot."

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.
