popskull 

(N): A term coined in the prohibition era,(1920's) used to describe really bad or cheap moonshine whiskey.
Originating from the fact that really crappy booze would give you such a hangover that you think your brain was going to swell up and pop your skull open.

This cheap buzz juice was often poured into a bathtube with fruit juices to mask it's horrible taste. The use of "mixers" with rotten booze is the origination of todays cocktail beverages.

During this time there were models of vehicles that used ethel-alcohol in their radiators as a coolant. Many cases are on report of "down on their luck folk" draining and drinking this nonpotable fluid. Being not the same chemical formula as comsumable intoxicants, these people often sustained major internal injury. Gastric problems, blindness, heart failure, brain damage, and extreme inflamation of the circulatory system being key results of injestion. And yes , it can kill ya' too!

Also latter when "Moon shining" became more abundant, one of the ways to transport illegel alchohol was to pour the "shine" in the radiator, drive to the delivery point, drain the booze and replace it with regular coolant. Then the shine runners (early origins of NASCAR racing) collected their cash, went home and poisoned loads of people with the now polluted booze they just delivered. YeeeeeHaaaaaawww!!!!
"Hey bar tender! Give me a belt of that good star bottle you got hid under the counter. I ain't want'n non of that POPSKULL garbage you serve to the regular cheeple!"

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.
