Museum Nemesis

When visiting a museum or gallery, you will encounter at least one Museum Nemesis. These are the people that you see over and over again that inconvenience you repeatedly during your visit. You can tell your Museum Nemesis by some of the following traits:

-They will prevent you from seeing displays by getting up close to them, blocking your view
-They often bump into you by stepping backwards without looking. They will rarely apologise or even make eye contact after doing so
-You will never lose them. Even when you think you've lost them, they'll turn up at the next display you wish to look at
-When visiting the museum cafe they will be in front of you in the queue. They will almost certainly take the item you wanted, and it will be the last one

You museum nemesis can often be defeated by an 'accidental' tripping down some stairs. Museum stairs are often made from marble or other very hard stone.
Jim: That stupid bitch got in my way AGAIN!

Bob: Yeah man, that's your Museum Nemesis

Jim: How I get rid of her?

Bob: Trip her down some stairs, that's how I got rid of mine

Jim: You mean that screaming kid you said just fell over?

Bob: That's the one!

Jim: ...Awesome!

Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum 

A museum in Michigan which is dedicated to displaying a variety of animatronics and other coin-operated machines. It was originally owned by the late Marvin Yagoda, until he died just after New Year's of 2017, when ownership was transferred to his son, Jeremy Yagoda. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum was forced to shut down temporarily, until Michigan reaches Phase 5 of containment, and was faced with financial trouble due to maintenance on the machines, but thanks to a GoFundMe, they were able to remain afloat. Though Marvin died in 2017, he is attributed with the quotations "Wouldn’t the world be better off if we took nonsense more seriously?", and "Don’t use time or words carelessly; neither can be retrieved".

Furthermore, the "fabloo" band known as "Tally Hall" created an album named after Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, and Marvin himself appeared in an episode of the Tally Hall internet show
Person 1: I heard there's this one place with some sort of weird robots and stuff down on Orchard Lake Road, called Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. Anyone wanna come with me?

Person 2: Sure, I think I heard some neat stuff about it online

City Museum 

The City Museum, located in St. Louis, Missouri, opened in 1997 and is housed in the former International Shoe building.

As far as exhibits go, the museum boasts a "eclectic mixture of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel." They are all made of recycled industrial materials and visitors of all ages are encouraged to feel, touch, climb on, and play in the various exhibits including but not limited to a skateless skatepark, the enchanted caves, shoelace factory, and world aquarium. The museum consists of 4 floors, the roof, and the outdoor "MonstroCity," a large outdoor playground including a large ballpit with rubber dodgeballs that even adults can play in. Beneath MonstroCity is Cabin Inn, originally the home of Daniel Boone's son and is now a bar and entertainment venue.

The museum attracted over 300,000 visitors in 1999 and over 600,000 in 2007. It has been named one of the "great public spaces" by the Project for Public Spaces and has won other local and international awards as a must-see destination.
John: What can we possibly do tonight where we can find fun and adventure at almost every turn?

Michael: To the City Museum!

museum level 

When monitoring effects of psychotropic substances, a commonly used term for a level that produces a just perceptible effect is "museum level." This is a slightly-over-threshold level which allows public activities (such as viewing paintings in a museum or scenery watching as a passenger in a car) to be entered into without attracting attention.
Person 1: Are you getting the fear? think we better turn back home..
Person 2: No not yet.. Im still cruising on museum level :)

crippled egg museum 

A derogatory term used to describe a very promiscuous and barren woman who is often beyond her years and tries to dress and act much younger than she really is. Will likely attempt to copulate with school boys in high school or college, playing on naivety to make her move, due to her lack of ability to attract a mate more her age, and hopelessly believing that a younger males more potent semen will provide the answer to her inability to conceive.
Man, you better watch out for that teacher, she's a serious crippled egg museum. Don't think you're hot shit just cause she's flirting with you, she does it everywhere she goes, she's desperate for a kid and is too messed up for anyone her own age in their right mind to get involved with.

Museum legs 

The aching legs one develops after a prolonged period of slow walking interspersed with standing still, especially when going round a museum or some other attraction where visitors are forced to be constantly on their feet.
Isn't there somewhere to sit in this place? After three hours of shuffling past Old Masters my museum legs are killing me!

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.
