Pareidolia 

Pareidolia is the phenomena of seeing faces/figures/forms in patterns; as opposed to where one normally sees faces/figures/forms (on animals including people/landscapes etc.)
Pareidolia is seeing what appears to the individual to be a representation of a face, figure, or form in the clouds, wood grain, marble, smoke, shadows, or any non-homogeneous area. It can also be an auditory phenomenon as in hearing white noise or a record played backward that sounds to the individual like words or a melody that isn't actually there.

Pareidoliac 

The type of person who looks at an object and despite the context, somehow finds a way to project a completely unrelated meaning, intent, or resemblance onto that object; generally done to disparage that object or the person displaying that object.

To see a perfect example of this google: "Prada pulls products after accusations of blackface imagery"
I showed my roommate a shoop da whoop video and now she's convinced I'm racist because that face somehow "enables the ongoing oppression and dehumanization of Blacks in America for like 200 years"...err something like that. Jfc... what a pareidoliac.

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.
