mummer by Buddy Wasisname September 20, 2005
A member of a travelling troupe of actors originally from the British Isles that performed seasonal folk plays. They occasionally perform in the streets, although their more usual style is house-to-house and in public centers. They are also known by other names (mostly regional) such as rhymers, pace-eggers, soulers, tipteerers, galoshins, and guisers.

The word & concept was recently brought back into American pop culture's attention with the 1997 release of Loreena Mckennitt's hit song "The Mummer's Dance" on her album The Book of Secrets.
Cindy: Oooh! This song is really nice! What's it called?

Cindy: Ah. What's a mummer?

Genial Irishman: They're travelling actors, me fair lasses.

Cindy & Hairstylist: Oh... Like, awesome!

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.

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.
