A brand of computers that seem to have fast processors, big hard drives, lots of RAM, the newest operating systems, and yet somehow manage to cost really cheap. The secret lies in the fact that the entire computer is made out of cheap, low-quality components, and the entire computer often dies within a year after buying it.

The term "Emachines" can also mean any low-quality and cheap system that seems to have the latest components, even if it is not actually made by the Emachines company.

True, some Emachines owners have had their computers for over 6 years and they have never failed them. These people are just lucky.

Person A: Hey, look, Ive got a new Emachines computer! It has a Core 2 Duo, 3 gigs of RAM, a 320-gig hard drive, an Nvidia GeForce 8600, and Windows Vista Ultimate! And I only paid like $500 for it!

Person B: Emachines are total crap. Yours will break within a week, I guarantee it.

Person A: Yeah, like I'm gonna believe that! This computer will beat your crappy one that you built yourself for $3000! Now I can play all the latest games on max settings!

One week later:
Person A: That fucking Emachines is like so fucking junk, I tried to overclock the fucking CPU and the fucking BIOS didnt fucking let me adjust the fucking frequency and voltage, so I had to fucking play Crysis on fucking medium. Then I turned it on this morning and the fucking motherboard just fucking fried and then fucking smoke came out of the fucking back of it and the fucking screen looked like some fucking modern art and all my data was fucking gone...

Person B: See, I told you!

Person A: I'm so fucking mad, I will never buy a fucking Emachines again! And I'm gonna have a fucking good time smashing that fucking piece of junk to bits, that's about the best thing I can do with this computer!

eMachine

The cheapest ratshit computer ever built. Bought out by Gateway now, so there is no support either.

White trash computer purchased by those who are to tarded to know that you get what you pay for.

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.”
