An unnecessary addition to something that was previously working without it--like putting a hat on top of another hat. In comedy, this is used when placing two funny things too close to each other so that they distract from each other.

Bob told a joke on top of another joke. I warned him he was putting a hat on a hat.

putting the pussy on the chain wax

1930’s, rural US. There was an explosion of infrastructure projects but a lack of workers willing to work in unpredictable weather. Townships impressed convicts onto work gangs, transported and/or forced to do the labor while attached by heavy iron chains. Because of the possibility of sudden, downpours throughout the year, the chains had to be treated with a carnauba extract that sealed the metal against rust and ensured some measure of movement for those tethered together.
This additional weight coupled with the nature of the work made this option unsuitable for some criminals. These men were seen as lesser— cowards or failures, not given the opportunity to leave prison grounds, required to stay in the building and apply the waxy film to the chains. Additionally, those who, during the course of the frequent violent confrontations with others, were injured sufficiently and could not work were also required to stay with the “pussywillows” (a reference to the frail flora which grew in areas serviced by these groups). The idiom developed as a badge of honor, for those who beat others into being removed from the chained gang of workers and stuck with lesser men, rubbing the wax on chains for use in future work assignments. Getting someone placed on the chain-waxing detail was a show of strength for the victor and a mark of inferiority for the loser of any fight, thus ‘putting the pussy on the chain-wax’ became a popular refrain among those bragging of any equivalent conquest

I thought I was about to get the beat down, but I ended up putting the pussy on the chain wax.

Fool beat me at croquet? Never! I put that pussy on the CHAIN WAX.

Putting your best ball forward

When you put your best ball forward, you are willing to going the extra mile in trying to please your partner in the bedroom, no matter how tired, stressed out or troubled your present period in life may be.

Mike: "Do your cares leave you with no time or troubles with Lina bro?"
John: "Nah. I leave that outside the bedroom. End of the day, I committed to her and I got to fulfill my promises. I'll always give her all attentions as usual.
Mike: "Great to hear so. No matter what, you're putting your best ball forward when needed".

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.

caillou

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.

“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.”
