Indian English for "please reply". Recurring nightmare of sysadmins and ITs dealing with Indians. Usually combined with other indianisms such as do the needful, causing a violent urge to facepalm among native English speakers. May also cause workflow disruption when the topic is about a commit.

Customer: "Dear Mr. Phelps, I have a doubt about the updation. Kindly revert."

Kindly fuck off

A very non-diplomatic, straightforward and passive aggressive way of telling someone to get out of one's sight. Used mainly with people that waste your time with non-issues to let them know the shit they're talking about right now is last on a 1500 items to-do list and that right now, time is of the essence. Subtextually, you're warning the annoying person that you won't say it a second time and will gladly proceed directly to physical violence if they carry on. You NEVER get to say "kindly fuck off" twice. Unleast you feel like sounding indecisive.

Mate, i was already late and got a flat tire halfway through. While i was fixing it, some asshole came up to me and asked me for two bucks. I gave him the death stare and told him to kindly fuck off. Seeing i wasn't joking, he indeed made himself scarce. I did miss my date though. Fuck.

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.

“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.”
