The Boomerang Effect 

When a college student graduates and leaves college, only for him/her to end up living back at his/her parent's house. This is usually because after college they have to pay their tuition, loans, etc., and they're so freaking high that Bill Gates couldn't even pay it off, and the job they currently have is not enough to pay for it and an apartment.
I could have gotten an apartment but instead my parents and I suffered the boomerang effect because of my tuition and bank loans. Now I live at my parent's house.

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?
