Tenderloin 

The Tenderloin (aka The 'Loin or T.L) is a relatively small neighborhood located in downtown San Francisco, CA. Its borders are roughly the triangle made by Geary Blvd, Market St and Van Ness Ave. Some consider the Civic Center and Union Square to be a part of the Tenderloin.

Although the origin of its name is up for debate, no one denies this neighborhood is one of the most dangerous in the City, mainly known for problems like excessive drugs, prostitution, and a high number of homeless people. It's also one of the most dirty and grimy areas of San Francisco. It's highly recommended that visitors to this area exercise their street smarts and stay aware of their surroundings. If you look like a victim in the 'Loin, you'll probably be one. It's no wonder why there's a special police unit just for the Tenderloin.

The Tenderloin has some good things going for it too, however. It's home to some of the best ethnic restaurants in San Francisco, theaters, and hotels. It's also one of the most affordable areas of San Francisco.
Girl: The Tenderloin scares me!
Boy: Just be smart. Don't hang around at night and be aware.

Tenderloin Pyropsychopath 

Militant vagrants who have taken residence in any of the alleys between Larkin Street and Van Ness Street in San Francisco, usually between McAllister and Bush St in both the Tenderloin and Lower Nob Hill neighborhoods. Without any employment opportunities or marketable skills, an abundance of time and adrenaline triggered by copious amounts of PCP, they spend their time building pipe bombs to terrorize their small sections of the City.
“I would invite you over for dinner tonight, but I’m not sure when I will be able to host again after the Tenderloin Pyropsychopaths destroyed my entire apartment.”

“But does it matter? I’m sure you understood the risks and purchased appropriate insurance when you moved in, right?”

“oh well yes. They did me a favor.”

“Do they venture into Russian Hill?”

creamy tenderloin 

An elaborate act of sexual intimacy involving the woman traveling to the grocery store and purchasing the largest filet mignon. The filet is then brought home, sautéed in wine: cooked rare so the center is warm but not hot. A pocket is then cut into the filet; large enough to accommodate the male partner's penis. The woman then uses the filet to masturbate their male partner until he ejaculates inside of it.

The woman then enjoys the filet for dinner with a glass of merlot.
A woman of class deserves a nice dinner, so I treated her to a nice creamy tenderloin.

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.
