A reference to a Simpsons episode in which Milhouse first complains about wearing his "dorky highwater shorts" but feels better when the floodwater "soaks his ankles" but leaves his cuffs "bone dry," at which point he exclaims "Alright, everythings coming up Milhouse."

Example: I was picked as the "Best Edward from Twilight Look-alike" at the Springfield Bi-Mon Sci-Fi Con. Looks like everything is coming up Milhouse.

Everything's Coming Up Milhouse!

A celebratory phrase used following one, or a series of, positive, though generally insignificant event(s).

Its origin can be attributed to Milhouse, a character of television show The Simpsons, who coined the phrase in jubilation after realising the success of his flood pants to keep his cuffs bone dry.

"I left work 10 minutes early today, and I found $2 in the passenger seat of my car! Everything's coming up Milhouse!"

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.
