I was told phaff is “an old English term for taking an extraordinary amount of unnecessary time to do something, particularly when others are waiting on you.”

But it is actually a derivitive of the acronym for “Fucking Around Forever”!

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.
