"Gotcha Day" is a term used for kids that are adopted into new homes. Once a child leaves the foster care system and gets placed with their potential adoptive family, they celebrate that day. It's the move in day for the child.

Today we celebrated my sisters 4th "Gotcha Day."

Sarah Palin: "In what respect Charlie?"

Charles Gibson: "What do you interpret it to be?"

Sarah Palin: "His world view."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Katie Couric: "When it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read...?"

Sarah Palin: "I've read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press..."

Katie Couric: "But what ones specifically? I'm curious."

Sarah Palin: "Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years."

Katie Couric: "Can you name any of them?"

Sarah Palin: "{Long speech about how Alaska isn't a foreign country}"... no shit.

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.”
