I don't recall

A rather poor safety net that is often used by the guilty when they testify before congress. The degree to which the testifier uses this phrase often indicates how much they have to hide. This phrase was recently made famous by Alberto Gonzales when he testified in April of 2007.
Alberto Gonzales used the old "I don't recall" trick 71 times when he testified before congress the other day. That means he's really guilty or really stupid. Most likely both.

Scrotal Recall 

An action film directed by Paul Furhaven, in which a large, imposing nutsack (Arnold Scrotumsagger) takes a 'vacation' from itself via an implanted memory. Trouble ensues when the big, hairy plum-pod can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

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?

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.
