On the Dime 

Descriptive phrase that usually refers to a person, but could also be in reference to place or thing. A positive, complimentary phrase meaning something is cool, cutting edge, intelligent, or otherwise in the know. Stems from the idea that most people don't know which president is on the dime, so those who do are pretty hip.

Similar to knowing "what time it is!"
1.) "Yo, that girl is on the dime! You gotta introduce me some time!"

2.) "That club used to be on the dime, but no one goes there any more."

3.) "Anyone who's on the dime will tell you that my band rocks the house every night!"

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.
