an adult, though no longer a student, who does not have full-time employment and all the benefits that comes with it. Instead, a freeter chooses to work part-time or hold down odd jobs, even while full time employment is available.

Being a freeter means having more flexibility and freedom than someone with a permanent job. Freeters usually do not earn enough money to have their own home, so they often stay at home with their parents indefinitely, or else rent rooms in others' homes.

In today's economy, it's hard to know if a part-time employee is a freeloader or freeter, or is simply struggling to survive.

freetard

A zealous advocate of free (as opposed to proprietary) software.

The freetard's entire identity is based around using free and open source software such as Linux, and he spends every waking hour of every day writing self-serving propaganda as to why he is superior to anyone who uses software whose licensing does not allow you to reverse engineer/copy/modify and then release your own version of somebody else's work.

"Hey guys, can you help me get this game installed on Windows 10?"
"You use Micro$oft Windows? Don't you know that software doesn't respect your freedoms? You should use GNU/Linux like me! BTW, I use Arch."
"Oh great, here come the freetards to derail the thread."

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.
