r/detrans 

A subreddit for detransitioners (people who have undergone medical gender transition and then opted to stop transitioning and/or reverse some of their transition-related procedures), desisters (people who socially transitioned but never medically transitioned and then went back to identifying as their assigned-at-birth gender), and people with related struggles (such as nonbinary people who previously identified as binary trans and wish to reverse certain procedures.) The subreddit contains a mix of people with varying detrans/desistence experiences, but according to polls, the majority of users are detrans women who formerly identified as FTMs.
Person 1: I heard they're trying to get r/detrans banned again.
Person 2: That's depressing, but not surprising. I guess people who go through the agony of medically transitioning and finding out it wasn't the right thing for them don't get to have supportive spaces online.
Person 1: The funny part is all of the trans people I know IRL are totally supportive of my detransition.

Person 2: Yeah, all of the trans people I know from the real world have been cool about my detransition too. I think this is just what happens when people are chronically online. Minorities attack other minorities.

Person 1: God, I wish the world had ended in 2012.

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.
