Ohhh Not Good (ONG) text

A text to the wrong person or containing subject matter that was not intended for the respective audience.
I sent an invitation for a date to my baby momma instead of my boo. I thought I was asking my boo about going to Applebees to get that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake and then I realized it was the baby momma and immediately realized I sent the wrong text to the wrong person and wrote Ohhh Not Good (ONG) text. She knew what I did and asked for the child support money.

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.
