Sassanach 

Word used in the English spoken in Scotland, which is directly from the Scottish(Gaelic) language. Sassanach literally meaning Saxon. This originally meant an Englishman. Then as Scottish(Gaelic) lost it's footing as the majority language of Scotland(geographically and 'de facto'), Scottish(Gaelic) speakers used the word to describe anyone who spoke any Anglian based language(i.e. the English language as spoken in England, Hiberno-English, Scoto-English/Lallans/('Scots') e.t.c) Nowadays, it has become common in Scoto-English/Lallans ('Scots'), and is used to refer to English people. Although not explicitly derogatory, some people (notably the English) consider it to be so.

Saranac Lake 

Is a small scenic town in the Adirondacks where snow can fall four feet in one night or not at all for months. The town provides possibility for anyone to leave. As it is so far north, those who want to adventure out and see the world will. While others stay and enjoy life as they have always known. Saranac Lake in any season is as precious as a painting by Monet, captured in wild colors giving wilderness life on canvas. With long winters the possibility of never seeing the sun on a summers day feels endless, but in the end the sun will show. It's a place where people from all over the world come to see the change of leaves and engage in an experience of a winter wonderland. By any other definition Saranac Lake would not be as it was, and is not defined by the people but by the beauty and possibility it provides.

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.
