my man not man 

My "man not man" replaces the super irritating "its complicated" status and also expands on ambiguous relationships. My man not man could be a friends with benefits, a recent break up that didn't quite stick so you're still talking a little, being barely married, dissatisfaction with the relationship you're in, or any other semi-relationship.
Me: You are never going to guess what happened today.
Her: What?

Me: My phone butt dialed my man not man today. We never talk on the phone - just text. So -

Her: Wait butt dialed today - it's Valentine's Day!
Me: Oh shit you're right! This is a disaster!

Why Not Man 

Refers generally to cannabis-based therapy but could also refer to other psychedelics, or more broadly to embracing nonchalance. Pending context, the expression could be an invitation to others to partake in an activity, or a declaration of indifference to one's carefree decision making. The expression is generally used without punctuation, similar to Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On', and is also seen abbreviated to WNM.

"I just bought a pair of $400 cowboy boots, Why Not Man"

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.
