Risecore 

A derogatory term used in metal and hardcore communities to describe a wave of metalcore and post-hardcore bands from the late 00's and early 10's. Commonly these bands include melodic singing (sometimes autotuned) alongside screamed and/or growled vocals, use of synthesizers and other electronic elements, simple breakdowns etc. These bands are also stereotyped as generic and unoriginal. The origin of the name is from the record label Rise Records who are known to sign and promote these bands.

Rinsecore 

Something which is 'good' or 'favourable'. Often used in response to a situation in which the user is happy, excited or just generally pleased.

To rinse is to either 'wash gently with liquid substance', or in this case 'to DO or carry out any act with more than the average effort or speed', or 'to do something fast and efficiently'. Apparently it comes from the old english phrase 'rincier'.

'Core' is to add emphasis, as is done with the music genre 'breakcore'. The music has lots of 'breaks' in it, and the fact it has lots warrants the adding of 'core' to the end of the word.
Bill: 'I just picked us up some nice beer man'

Warren: 'RINSECORE MAN!'

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.
