Hard Problem of Paranormality

Similar to supernaturality, but focused on the persistent, anecdotal reports of phenomena (ESP, psychokinesis, hauntings) that defy conventional explanation but consistently fail to manifest reliably under controlled conditions. The "hard problem" is the elusiveness: the phenomena appear tied to subjective states, belief, or ambiguous settings, evaporating under the harsh, skeptical light of a lab. This makes it impossible to determine if we're studying fragile real effects or the psychology of perception and error.
*Example: "The psychic was 80% accurate in cozy readings, but scored exactly chance in the double-blind lab test. The hard problem of paranormality: does the lab's sterile skepticism somehow 'turn off' the ability, or does the cozy setting simply create an illusion of accuracy through cold reading and confirmation bias? The effect is married to the ambiguity."*

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.

Word of the Day on September 14, 2026
A slang term used to describe a bald person, typically someone who is completely bald or has a closely shaved head. The term is derived from the infamous, hairless kids’ cartoon character of the same name.
Example 1:
“Did you see that caillou over there? His head is reflecting the sun like a disco ball.”
Example 2:
“I think Dave is finally accepting his hair loss. He just went full caillou and shaved the whole thing off.”
