Contraction of Administration and Trivia

When having to complete forms in triplicate sign with your own blood, merely to borrow a pen, so that one can complete a form of little if any significance to the pen lender. Any small insignificant task involving paper work, without which the world would surely end.

Thanks to the administrivia my 'change of address' form was sent to the wrong address.

administracial

A common flub by over-excited news anchors when they really mean 'Administrative Official'. There is a connotation, however, that the administrative officials are being racist.

Trump proved tonight that he was an administracial when he described Haiti as being a sh**-hole country.

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?
