Like Hanahaki disease, the cause of Star Tears (星涙病) is a situation of unrequited love by the person you love.

When a person cries star tears, a sound accompanies it. (What sound this is happening to be unspecified. Twinkling, or jingling sound,... etc....). If the symptoms are severe/the person has a serious case of the star tear disease, their photoreceptors cease to function and they go color blind. In rare cases, they may also suffer memory loss.

The star tears have color and shine/twinkle when they fall. (Perhaps the eventual color-blindness is because the star tears have color when shed.)

The way to heal from star tear disease, or at least to stop it, is naturally to have your feelings returned and be with the one you love.

Her vision turned blurry due to the flowing tears. Many colorful stars, accompanied by a twinkling sound, started to fall out of her eyes.

"Star tears disease huh?"

Her distant gaze shifted away from the stars that were piling up in the palm of her hands, her lips parted:

"So... this is the price of loving you."

teaspoon leg it out of here

When the Boston tea party were rumbled by the british, whilst drinking tea. They were awful at improvising a term so decided to 'Teaspoon Leg it out of here'.
This can be used to get out of a situation of awkwardness.

Person 1: How did you get out of the sit with that arsehole Miles?
Person 2: I totally had to teaspoon leg it out of here

teasession

An artificially induced and extra prolonged recession caused by a self-serving group of corporate sponsored idiots.

I heard you lost your job due to this new teasession. You aren't alone, millions more will be unemployed soon due to this teasession, but at least billionaires won't have to worry about higher taxes.

God Shot

A chance happening with profound meaning, an unexpected blessing, a "sign".

Dr. Drew on Celebrity Rehab said "All of a sudden what had been just another Hollywood proposal became for him an unexpected blessing, an opportunity for growth. In drug recovery language, that's called a "God shot."

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.
