A yeoman is an individual living a meaningless, insignificant life. A yeoman is the movie extra in their own life. They are the personification of the middle of the Bell Curve. They live drab, monochromatic, pathetic lives and never realize it. They aren't particularly smart or dumb, just in between, which makes them so tragic.
John was a yeoman, fading into the background of his own existence.

Yeoman Johnson 

A loser or tool. Someone who is not a main player in a social situation; an extra. Reference from Star Trek; similar to the terms "red shirt"--the generic term for the "other" guy that gets beamed down to the planet with Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy to "see if the aliens are hostile". Invariably, the the aliens are hostile, and Yeoman Johnson dies. The term also refers to people in a social group who are "extras". For example, someone's current boyfriend who's destined to soon get kicked to the curb or is just a pawn in the game. The term is unflattering and dismissive.

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.
