Maslow's hierarchy of needs 

A pyramid of human needs created by Maslow. It explains the needs of humans from the basics to the complex.

1st: Physical Survival Needs- Water, Food, Shelter, Sleep, Health, Sex
2nd: Safety and Security- Physical Safety, Economic Security, Freedom From Threats, Comfort
3rd: Social Needs- Acceptance, Group Membership, Association, Love
4th: Self Esteem- Important Projects, Recognition of Strengths and Intelligence, Prestige and Status
5th: Need for Self-Actualization- Challenging Projects, Opportunities for Innovation and Creativity, Learning
High Schoolers and young adults have a very hard experience trying to maintain 3 in Maslow's hierarchy of needs and above because most parents hate their kids. Most parents, on the other hand, raise their self esteem and feel accomplished when they shit on their kids lives.

maslow mong 

To go against maslow's hierachy of needs in favor of a much more alluring item/ need. To go on a soul searching trip of lifetime at 19 when you can't afford a can of beans. To use all your money to buy a materialistic item rather than the essentials.
Jerry bought a sports car and now he lives in his sports car. He is happy, Jerry is a maslow mong.

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.
