Political Climate

The long-term, foundational structure of power, ideology, and public sentiment in a polity. It's the underlying baseline that determines what is politically possible. Are we in an ice age of authoritarianism, or a warm period of democratic expansion? Is the political climate "arid" for progressive ideas, or "fertile" for populism? Shifts in political climate happen slowly, over decades or generations, and define the era far more than any single election.
Example: "The rise of social media didn't cause the extremism; it just thrived in the new political climate of distrust and tribalism that had been developing for years."

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.
