dad dancing 

a groooovy, down-with-the-kids dance, often performed by the senior members of the brides family at her wedding reception.

adopted by adoloescents mocking their fathers when they have gone to the buffet.

the foundations of the dance lie in the bent knees and elbows, accompanied by the elbowing of invisible children (or dwarves) on alternate sides and stamping on the invisible little people when they are on the floor.

all to a beat, of course.
beej: woah dad, you're really killin' them all on the dancefloor. is that the funky chicken?

dad: no, son, it's called dad dancing. its just a little something i picked up from your grandad. its a family tradition and now i think you've matured enough for me to pass on the legacy.

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.
