New York Salute 

Typically done by raising your hand to someone while making a fist, with the exception of having only your middle finger extended. However, in some parts of the city, such as South Brooklyn or Staten Island, some of the old timers will give a New York Salute by putting the tips of their fingers to the bottom of their chin, and quickly flicking their hand forward an inch or two, always accompanied by an angry facial expression.
Hah, you see the faces of those tourists who were waving at us from the roof of that stupid sight-seeing bus when I gave them the good ‘ol New York Salute?? Yeah, that was Priceless.

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.
