Party rock shuffling

If you've seen it in the party rock anthem music video or on the Kia commercial and try to copy what they do, you are party rock shuffling.
Contrary to popular belief, Party rock anthem is not hardstyle music and this kind of shuffling is not real shuffling and will be laughed at by real, true, sfufflers.
If you still don't understand the difference, look up some videos and tutorials on YouTube and prepare to be blown away

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.
