Adaeze is a beautiful dark skinned or light girl, she's friendly as fuck and loves to take positive risks, she doesn't have too many friends cause they happen to be fake, but a clique of 2 to 3 friends will count for it cause they are always loyal to a fault. She loves listening to advice from people and she's fun to be with. Her way of thinking is totally different and that's the most spectacular thing about her. Adaeze is completely amazing!
I don't like this Adaeze, she's too forward.
C'mon Adaeze is a very charming girl, get to know her first and you'll fall in love.

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.
