Soundsystem 

The slang term for "PA" (public address) gear, or 'sound reinforcement'.
This term first became popular in 1960's Jamaica, in the reggae & dub
music scenes. King Tubby was a pioneer in the usage of custom PA systems,
so was Lee Scratch Perry. In addition to the same formula that 'rock' systems use (two or more large "main" speakers, subwoofers, mixer,
microphones) dub "soundsystems" also utilize effects & devices for excessive
sound treatment (reverbs, delays, sound effect devices, samplers, effects units, etc)

This "dub" discipline carries on today, bands like Twilight Circus
Soundsystem & Dead Panda Soundsystem hold the belief that an
artist is their own best engineer, too much is at risk with an 'outsider'
(hired PA/soundperson).

The customized nature of the modern "soundsystem" underscores the importance of sound quality to the dub &/or electronica artist.
That band last nite had a massive soundsystem. It was so loud my beer
hopped off the table.

009 Sound System 

Almost the best thing ever. But because of being overused with Audioswap it's reputation is very low. Many people dislike it EXCEPT FOR ME. One of the many songs is Dreamscape, which is my favorite. Many people say it s***s or that it's g*y. And to those haters... go jump off a cliff...
Me: Oh hey, 009 Sound System! I love this stuff!
YouTube user: get a life 009 sound system freak u must b stuped 2 litsen 2 dis crap
Me: Oh please, you wouldn't know music if it hit you in the face. Oh, by the way, look up how to have good grammar, it'll help you ALOT...

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.
