The mystical field surrounding a 1980s home computer, mainly the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, that must not be disturbed whilst the computer is loading software from audio cassette tapes. Some people performed highly sophisticated rituals to prevent loading errors, and others were convinced that games would not load properly if their mum asked them if they wanted a cup of tea whilst loading.

Coined in the late 90s by a poster on comp.sys.sinclair, who mis-typed "chutney" - the word was then adopted by a fellow poster to describe the phenomenon above.
"Where Time Stood Still had only three seconds left to load, when my brother came into the room, tripped over and ruined the chuntey field. I was gutted."

Chanteys are mysterious creatures and often complex. They often keep things to themselves, but are very charismatic. They are hilarious and often have everyone within hearing distance either smiling or laughing. They are beautiful people, inside out. However, beware, when angry or upset, have the power within them to silence you in pure terror. But, that is rare. They are very easy-going people. Chanteys are one of the most amazing kinds of people you will ever come across!
Friend: "Chantey, you seem very mysterious, what are you hiding?"

Chantey: "Nothing, nothing at all."

*Bat signal goes off*

Chantey: "I need to go...I have something to take care of.."

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.
