Camp Fernwood 

A summer camp for girls in Maine founded in 1921. Fernwood has gained a sort of cult following with campers coming back for four generations. It is easily the best summer camp around with great activities (including unique offerings like marksmanship and metalwork), a strong sense of tradition, and girls that will become your sisters.

Fernwood Cove 

Cove memories will never be forgotten. You put on the green and whites, put the back strap up on your Crocs, grab your tennis racket, or waterbottle, or swimcap and nothing else matters. It doesn't matter that the showers are ice cold or that you got a 14 on inspection that morning. Heres to Nancy Bars, Singing in the Rain, wanger-bangers, Moxie, Skippy, the crib, the contact sport at the fluff table, horse vaulting, getting mail, soccer tournaments, the 6 feet rule, spending most of trip days lost, Gez's reveille's, Don Wise, mystery haircut, lazy Sundays, and crying at services. The amazing Katie's funky art classes, Walmart, claymation, beach volleyball, mini courses, flam, star gazing, reading under the tree, JillandKate, early mornings, late nights, color war, Cove pals, skinnydipping, Gez "dying", knowing exactly what to put in our pillowcases at Dutch Auction. Ms. Fernwood Cove pageants, spending hours getting ready for guys from creepy camps that we all know are ugly and we'll never see them again, banquet, campfire, rainy days, swimming to the island, running from 5th focus so hard that when you finally reach the Bird Bath you can hear your heart pounding, and most importantly, the girls and memories that will always be in your heart. Everything at Fernwood Cove is PERFECT!!

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.
