A book in the Bible written by a philosopher who could not understand God's plan. Trapped in his own thoughts he came to the conclusion that life is useless and what we do is useless. "Generations come and go but the world stays the same. The sun still rises in the east, and sets in the west. All the rivers flow to the sea, only to be swept up and start the dreary process all over again. It is useless I say useless." - Ecclesiastes.

Ecclesiastes was a pessimist who had everything he ever wanted but still felt depressed and useless.

The view that African American churches attempt to prevent women from achieving status in the church higher than men. Also, includes the interpretation of the Bible to have women serve subservient roles in relationships with men.

Used frequently during BET's Hip Hop vs. America II part two while speaking of misogyny in our current black culture.

Due to the ecclesiastical apartheid in my mom's church she can't seem to become a pastor even though she has a theology degree.

ecclesiastical spanking

Noun. A public rebuke by the Pope or a bishop of a disobedient churchman or group, sometimes, but not always involving an excommunication. The act is primarily medicinal, in that it seeks to bring about the return of the errant party to orthodoxy, rather than simply to shun them.

The pope's public rebuke of the illicit and schismatic consecrations constituted an ecclesiastical spanking.

The bishop issued an ecclesiastical spanking by condemning the heterodox ideology espoused by the members of the parish.

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.
