Pulling an Oracle 

When a person, company or organization takes over something that people depend on, then totally screw it up so bad, or jack the price up ridiculously high, that it's now completely unusable and loads of people are just plain screwed. The perpetrator then gets off totally scott free, laughing in total glee at others misfortune. Usually used to destroy a competing service, company, technology, person, memory, holiday or other resource. Named for Oracle, Inc. after their acquisition of Sun Microsystems, and Oracle's subsequent destruction of the Java programming language and MySQL database system. But applicable to every day life by cool people as well as nerds. Because cool people are actually smart, not pathetic losers who revel in their own idiocy.
Say you're at a party and some dude grabs your beer then spits in it. "Want it back now?" he says. That's Pulling an Oracle.

Or, say your best buddy had sex with your girlfriend. You can't sleep with her ever again - not after he's been playin' around in that! He just pulled an Oracle.

Another example: say you have sex with a girl for the first time on Christmas eve. Like the dumbass you are, you fall head over heals for her. Then she goes and fucks every guy in sight and laughs her ass off at your subsequent state of total disarray. Now, every time you think of Christmas, you think of her - and all the pain she brought into your world. That's one masterful Pulling of an Oracle.

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.
