"Be back in a while"

Although brb means 0 - 15 min, and bbs means 15 - 30 min, and bbl means more than an hour, we lack a term for the 30 to 60 minute range. So, bbiaw is designated for that 30 to 60 minute range, in between bbs and bbl.
In an IM conversation, one would say "bbiaw", and then return between thirty and sixty minutes later.

Briawna is very loyal, and tends to catch feelings for one they talk to on a day to day basis. And while she does have bad anger, she tends to set that a side to help out others get through a tough time. Briawna is very, very charismatic. She loves to take care of people/animals.

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.

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.
