An extension of alternative/independent rock, Sadcore is slow, fragile and gut-wrenching music made by and for the depressed.

Themes usually include but are not limited to: heartbreak, loss, and misery.

Sadcore bands like American Music Club and Red House Painters channel their pain and suffering into music that is hauntingly beautiful — the perfect soundtrack for solitary late-night listening.

sadorexia 

Extreme or restrictive diet control enforced by a dominant on a submissive within the context of sadomasochism (S&M) or domination and submission (D&S) (a broad set of sexual proclivities often cumulatively referred to as "BDSM"). Depending on the couple, the practice may involve goals, deadlines, monitoring, and punishment. For it to be pleasurable to both sides, the sadorexic generally must be both submissive and masochistic.
"She, a submissive, wanted to be thinner. Her boyfriend, a dominant, gave her a diet regimen and was very strict with her, punishing mistakes along the way. This is called sadorexia."

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.
