This is a situation where someone accomplishes something of little to no value or importance, or fails miserably. Extra bonus points are given if the "accomplishing" party is proud of the non-accomplishment or failure.

As Jimmy stood up from his Quaker oatmeal, he noticed a warm sensation in his pants as he had wet himself. Jimmy laughed and proclaimed with pride, "Oops I earned my spade!"

earned the tag

Situation that drivers encounter when some a-hole in the other car makes a dumb manuever. Then you notice their handicap license plate. It becomes evident that they "earned the tag"

ME: "YOu won't beleive what happened on they way home. I was on the highway and this jerk off enterered the road without merging. After I slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting someone who truly deserved it did I notice the handicap tag."
You: "Yeah, they must've earned the tag... what are you gonna do?"

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.

caillou

A slang term used to describe a bald person, typically someone who is completely bald or has a closely shaved head. The term is derived from the infamous, hairless kids’ cartoon character of the same name.

Example 1:
“Did you see that caillou over there? His head is reflecting the sun like a disco ball.”
Example 2:
“I think Dave is finally accepting his hair loss. He just went full caillou and shaved the whole thing off.”
