outsourcing 

When a company hires another company to do some aspect of its work for it.

Examples of this include (but are not limited to):

* Stores using another companies cleaning services for cleaning its floors etc (rather then having employees of their own hired as full time cleaners).

* An ISP using a third party for its e-mail services rather then using servers of their own.

* A company in need of call centre services using a third person company rather then building a call centre of its own.

Companies often outsource to save money. However, it's also possible they want to concentrate on their main service and allow another company to worry about secondary ones (ie, companies whose main service are those secondary ones).

Outsourcing unfortunatly costs jobs domestically when companies outsource overseas. This is why people dislike it so much.

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.

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.
