One of the most intellectually able, witty and sincere people which you will meet in your entire life! Ramisa will probably be found volunteering at a blood donation drive, babysitting her neighbor's kids for free and/or helping deprived inner city children with their homework. Ramisa(s) will probably rise to become one of the most hard-working people in our modern day societies and use their powers for good instead of evil. Did I mention that she is pretty too?
Bob: Hey guys, I just saw Ramisa and she is currently donating her time volunteering at the Red Cross and helping kids from L.A. with their math homework!
Dill: Gee, I wish that I knew more people like her! Ramisa sure is one of the best girls I have been blessed to meet.
Bob: She sure is, and I would tap that!

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.
