Words you can keep
that sudden dreadful realization that you are you, and only you, and stuck in your body and you're not omniscient and the universe is filled with other people just like that but you still can't live their lives and they can't live yours.

"which is like standing in front of the departures screen at an airport, flickering over with strange place names like other people’s passwords, each representing one more thing you’ll never get to see before you die" - as taken from the dictionary of obscure sorrows.
"Oh damn. I'm...I'm me. And I'm limited to stay here. Look at all these people whose shoes I'll never be able to walk in. Look at all the lives I'm never going to live."
"damn, that's some severe onism right there."

right-onism 

1. Oppressive political correctness.
2. The tendency for activists to show excessive zeal in advocating their "righteous" causes, to the point of numbing their audience.

3. Jumping on the bandwagon of social movements in a lemming-like fashion.

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.
