A slaphead is usually a guy who is so naturally bald he makes most bald people look positively hirsuit, but really it can be any guy who is definitely bald or going bald. A slaphead is so obviously bald that you just wish it was acceptable to point out the patently obvious by slapping them 5 or 6 times in rapid succession on their bald shiny head. The term slaphead was actually introduced in the comedy of Benny Hill, a world famous British comedian (deceased). Benny always used a sketch where a small bald man would do something a little annoying to Benny Hill and benny would slap the guy a few times on his bald head.

A rhyme sung by errant children to bald guys before running away quickly:

slaphead slaphead over there

is it hot or is it cold
you would know cuz you're so bald

Like happy slapping but for slapheads (bald people). The idea of the game is to slap as many bald people on the head before being caught and maybe pumbled. The best players slap and make a quick getaway.

"I dare you to play slapheading."

"No law specifically says slapheading is isn't allowed"

"A mate of mine played slapheading the other day and got four slapheads chasing him at once."

slaphead

Slaphead can affectionately point out something stupid done by yourself or a colleague. Its that moment when you realise the problem you have spent ages trying to find is discovered and its soo simple or soo stupid and soo obvious.
Its that point whn you mentally hit yourself and say something like D'oh

I'm having a slaphead momoent: used in the context to explain to a colleague why you have just done something silly. Similar to senior moment or blonde moment, but without the justification of being elderly or blonde.

"Our nominee for slaphead of the week is........". Used in the context of a project review meeting for this weeks most idiotic error

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.
