An adult who does not work and resides with their parents. Being a housechild is similar to being a housewife (or househusband) except you don't have to perform gross sexual acts that you don't want to on the people or person who supplies you with money, housing, etc.

Lucy: Dave asked me to do the nastiest thing last night.
Amy: Did you do it?
Lucy: I didn't have a choice! He refused to give me any more money until I- I... I don't even want to talk about it.
Amy: Wow, I'm glad I'm a housechild instead of a housewife!

horseshit and slivers

Antiquated term, used to refer to the supposed ingredients of a poor grade of rolling tobacco, such as Bull Durham. Also may be used a comeback when someone asks what's for dinner.

horseshit

as opposed to bullshit, which expresses judgement on shallow, insensible, and false ideas, horseshit puts more emphasis on the speaker's distress about the message just received

From "Where's Poppa?" (1971)

Mrs Hocheiser (senile, and seemingly annoyed at the presence of Louise Callan, a nurse to take care of her): "Who is she?"

Gordon Hocheiser (to his mother): "Mom, she's here to help us."(silently) "I'm warning you, mom."

Louise (pushing Gordon to the kitchen) "Gordon, you just get things started! (to Mrs Hocheiser): "We're going to just have a nice evening!"

Mrs. Hocheiser (asides, silently) "Horseshit ...

horseshit

Horeshit is really the same as bullshit, but less cliched and therefore slightly more provocative.

The presidential election is a bunch of horseshit about lipstick on pigs rather debating the real issues.

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?
