Firthing is the act of hanging around the object of your affections looking intense but never actually telling them how you feel. The term is named for Colin Firth who played Mr. Darcy in a film adaption of Pride and Prejudice and spent a lot of time "firthing."

Rather than just tell her crush how she felt, Rebecca chose instead to spend the entire party firthing in his general vicinity.

Breaking the Fourth Wall

"The fourth wall" is an expression stemming from the world of theater. In most modern theater design, a room will consist of three physical walls, as well as a an imaginary fourth that serves to separate the world of the characters from that of the audience.

In fiction, "breaking the fourth wall" often means having a character become aware of their fictional nature. This can range from your character advising you to "Press X" in a tutorial all the way to Psycho Mantis reading your memory card and mentioning the other games you've been playing. However, the most direct violation of the fourth wall would be a character openly acknowledging they are in a video game or even directly speaking to you, the player, instead of to your character.

(Jak 3:)

Monk: This isn't a game!
-Jak and Daxter look toward the player with confused expressions-

(Dragon Age 2:)

Ghyslain (when a quest from him is available:) Does no one see this exclamation mark above my head?

Man: Have you ever wondered why everything we do is controlled by-

Dog: Stop! Breaking the fourth wall is a bad idea!

Fourthed

When someone makes a comeback so epic, it gives all Canadians orgasms, if you know what I mean. Furthermore, the wave of awesome coming from the comeback itself is so powerful it leaves the offended and the audience speechless, making grounds for the offender to yell the word. Originated when Agent FD killed all the zombies of LA by using slips of the tongue.

Fourth Drink: "Your face!"
Person B: "..."
Fourth Drink: "I fourthed you like maple syrup on spaghetti!"

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.
