Pltebow Effect

This is faith over reason; more specifically when somebody believes that the Broncos can win with their current style of play (a non-existent passing game). People who have fallen under the spell of the "pltebow effect" lack rational thinking and basic reasoning.
Bronco Fan: "Did you see Tebow pass for 72 yards last Sunday? He is amazing and will lead us to the Super Bowl/Promise Land."

Intelligent NFL fan and Licensed Physician: "I am sorry son, but you are ill. You've been stricken with the "pltebow effect." There is no saving you."

Platebow effect 

When one is given something they are told does not work for a stated purpose, ever...yet, miraculously works for exactly the purpose that it was stated to never work. While symptoms may not dissipate entirely, the root cause is cured entirely. Similarly to Tim Tebow as an NFL quarterback leading his team to wins despite the naysayers. Opposite of the placebo effect.
M: Yo dude, I had a killer hangover this morning...then after we blazed that J, I feel amazing!

K: Yea, man. MJ is medicinal.

M: But that phd I was dating said it has no medicinal value!

K: Platebow effect. MJ delivers, always. Ignore the naysayers.

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.
