Wannabe Tryhard 

A Wannabe Tryhard is a person who pretends to be a Tryhard. Unlike the Tryhard, who gets their KD from fighting same level players, the Wannabe Tryhard gets their KD from killing low level players with vehicles like the Oppresor MK II, the Lazar, or the Deluxo, they don’t have skill, rather they have the illusion of skill.
In GTA Online, I’ve been killed by someone with an Oppresor MK II for the past 5 minutes, they must be a Wannabe Tryhard

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.
