Head Canon

Head canon 

An interpretation of a piece of media that is not shown or confirmed in the original but is believed to be true simply for preference.
May also include direct deviations from the canon.
In a perfect world, instead of Philip, Grog would have recited Percy's full name perfectly as his 'fancy name' and, after a moment of stunned silence, Percy would have added, 'You can just call him Percy.'"

...This is my new head canon.

Head-Canon 

Not necessarily canon, but canon in your own perspective. Your own alternate perspective of what’s canon.
In my head-canon, Mario in the original Donkey Kong games from the early ‘80s is actually the father of Mario and Luigi. That Pauline is probably a different Pauline. Maybe it’s modern Pauline’s mother. The second Mario in Donkey Kong Jr. is Mario and Luigi’s random uncle.
Used by followers of various media of entertainment, such as television shows, movies, books, etc. to note a particular belief which has not been used in the universe of whatever program or story they follow, but seems to make sense to that particular individual, and as such is adopted as a sort of "personal canon". Headcanon may be upgraded to canon if it is incorporated into the program or story's universe.
In my headcanon, John and Mary bicker like siblings when they're around each other... They just seem like they're brother and sister to me!

Headcannon 

A personal belief or interpretation about a story or pice of media that has not been confirmed nor denied in the media itself.
It’s my headcannon that they eventually make it back home, but we’ll never know because the series ended with them attempting to escape.

(also written as "head canon," but it's really one word.)

An idea, belief, or aspect of a story that is not mentioned in the media itself, but is accepted by either the media consumer themselves or the fandom in general. If it is confirmed by the creator of the story, it becomes canon.
In Homestuck , a popular webcomic , many suspect the headcanon that the trolls are carnivores, because of their natural homicidal tendencies and sharp teeth. It's never explicitly stated in the comic that this is true, but it'd be kind of dumb to assume they're a race known for salads and ice cream sundaes.

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.

Word of the Day on September 14, 2026
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.”
