nuke the post 

The act of completely deleting a post from the internet and all traces that link to it, often for the purpose of hiding personal information, avoiding discourse, or silencing a comment section that has gone too far to ever be corrected naturally.

The act of "nuking" something can be used in dozens of different contexts alike, most notably as a metaphor for destroying any trace of something left behind so as to get rid of anything that particular person doesn't wish to spread out further. In the case of online posts, this can be used as a last resort option to fix the mistakes of which cannot be reversed, only destroyed.

It's important to note that nuking a post only works when all traces of said post are lost forever. This does not mean making the post private, only accessible to friends, or publicized elsewhere on the internet. When you nuke the post, it's gone for good, and it's a saving grace only some can achieve the right way.
Person 1: What do I do about this post? Ever since I made a comment about politics, it's been bombarded with hate!
Person 2: Nuke the post, man. It's got nothing left to save it now.

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?
