tropical illuminati

Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon or the Frequency Illusion phenomenon of noticing that Flamingos and Pineapples are everywhere and on everything (towels, cups, shirts, purses etc) and appear in pop culture (How I Met Your Mother) and in real life on a regular basis. A lot of the time the flamingos and pineapples will appear on the same object, but the tropical Illuminati effect is still valid if they are on separate objects.

Did you see that Ted woke up next to a pineapple on How I Met Your Mother? It's the Tropical Illuminati.

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.
