A person who hails from the Philadelphia, greater Philadelphia area, or acts as if they do. These people can be easily identified by their demeanor and adornments. They are often seen wearing obscene amounts of rhinestone, Ed Hardy, Juicy, or other obnoxious articles of clothing bought at a discount store or back of a van. They can also be identified by their inability to pronounce water correctly (variations may include, wooter, wooder, wuter, ect) or anunciate the "g" in words ending with -ing (pitching - pitchin', talking-talkin', ect). Don't fear about learning the name you should call them before you hit them with your car for the betterment of man-kind; their name can be seen from miles away b/c it is written inside of their huge hoop earrings bought at above mentioned discount store.

Their idea of what life consists of is emulating their favorite stolen cable star of the week, spending most hours when not working or watching day time television, inhabiting bars and taking pictures to upload to their social networks. These people know the bus schedule better than their multiplication tables and think they are all Italian (for now thanks to the abomination of "The Jersey shore").
They believe sweat pants are formal wear and will not buy a coat unless it has writing all over it and a fuzzy hood.

** avoid at all costs **

If their demeanor is not enough to gross you out, their bed-bugs will be.

ugh, that filthidelphian wants to walk right through people b/c s/he is too engrossed with their new rhinestones and talking about the jersey shore than to watch where they are walking...I hope they fall down the escalator

God Shot

A chance happening with profound meaning, an unexpected blessing, a "sign".

Dr. Drew on Celebrity Rehab said "All of a sudden what had been just another Hollywood proposal became for him an unexpected blessing, an opportunity for growth. In drug recovery language, that's called a "God shot."

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.”
