A jock-a-rambo is an athlete engaged in violent contact sports who is highly aggressive, often in part owing to the use of steroids. More than other athletes, his violence defines him. He suffers from the mindset that the hard hit, high sticking, whip tackling, spearing, brushback pitches, hard sliding, and other marginal or illegal techniques are essential ways to gain an edge in competition.

Jack Tatum, free safety for the Oakland Raiders in the 1970s, paralyzed Darryl Stingley of the New England Patriots in a 1978 NFL preseason game with a very violent, though legal, hit. He recounted this incident in the ultimate jock-a-rambo book, THEY CALL ME ASSASSIN, published in 1979.

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.
