Welfare Cow 

Welfare Cow. A sloppy lazy obesse individual with zero interest in work. Can usually be found grazing in low income apartments. Primary occupation is providing for the physical needs of Welfare Bulls. Usually has several offspring with different bulls. Social by nature welfare cows often develope drama based relationships with other welfare cows within the same apartment pens. As herds get larger the cows often compete for status and attentions from a common bull culminating in great episodes of Cops.
The Welfare Cow woke up the neighborhood when she stepped out on the apartment to yell at her newest boyfriend. I couldnt help but notice she was wearing a bright moo-moo that did little to cover her 400lb weight.

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.

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.
