local dad 

Super basic dad. Lives at Home Depot, refuses to upgrade his cellular device, and pretends to be progressive by letting his teenage daughters listen to "that cool new rap" music, but turns down the volume (or just silently cringes) at the cuss words.

Local dads have either a very stale sense of humor, bad comedic timing, or both.

Definitely collects baseball caps.

Local dads are like their coffee tumblrs; kinda hot.

A "local dad" can also be used to describe anyone, male or female, who dresses like a "local dad"... typically frumpy athleisure.
"Harriet just sent me a snap of her at Lowes, looking for a new DIY furniture project..."

"Look at her new thrifted baseball cap!"

"Harriet is SUCH a local dad. Smh."

"Is that Mr. Worsheschire? Our History substitute teacher? In the cereal aisle?"

"Omg he's buying Raisin Bran..."

"Such a local dad in real life. Wow."

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?
