Imagine a dump truck on fire. The garbage in the truck is, whether by accident or on purpose, on fire. The fire can be put out but not until the driver stops. Now imagine they won't stop the truck. In use, it describes a failure in leadership to address a serious problem within an organization, because to do so would mean haulting usual operation.

"The fact that our factory keeps producing vibrators with standard hardware, despite the blue prints calling for metric, is a real Dump Truck Fire!"

Dumpster fire

A situation that's completely disastrous, out of control, and is very unlikely to be fixed.

The team hasn't won a single game this year and is a poster child for the definition of 'dumpster fire'!

Dumpster Fire

In entertainment or sports, a laughably poor performance usually caused by:
1. Lack of planning, preparation or talent.
2. Random events that effectively sabotage
the effort (i.e., technical problems).

Dumpster Fire is the kindest thing I can
say about Oakland's game against San Diego.

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.

caillou

A slang term used to describe a bald person, typically someone who is completely bald or has a closely shaved head. The term is derived from the infamous, hairless kids’ cartoon character of the same name.

Example 1:
“Did you see that caillou over there? His head is reflecting the sun like a disco ball.”
Example 2:
“I think Dave is finally accepting his hair loss. He just went full caillou and shaved the whole thing off.”
