The word ZOOBS refers to "zebrafish boobs". It describes zebrafish laboratory fish that have been genetically manipulated or transplanted with breast epithelium xenotransplant. Scientists create ZOOBS to study the genetic pathways underlying breast cancer using zebrafish (zebrafish is a great genetic model for science, but they are not mammals and therefore, they do not have boobs).
By extension, FOOBS refers to any fish modified for the same research purposes.
The term ZOOBS was initially defined by a bunch of talented young scientists from the Rosenblatt's lab at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Utah.

I just made a new kind of ZOOBS by introducing an Estrogen controlled transgene in a clutch of Casper zebrafish.

I wish my ZOOBS help cure cancer.

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.
