Snerkle (noun / verb, informal musician slang)

Noun:
A pianist who obsessively repeats or lingers on a single chord or voicing instead of progressing harmonically.

Verb:
To snerkle — to repeatedly play the same chord, often while adjusting touch, voicing, or extensions, either deliberately (for practice) or due to hesitation.

In context:
• “He was stuck snerkling on that Cmaj9 for ten minutes.”
• “Stop snerkling and move the progression forward.”

Connotation:
Neutral to mildly negative—can imply either focused refinement or lack of harmonic movement, depending on intent.

Got it—using “snerkle” as the noun:

He’s such a snerkle—sat there for twenty minutes hammering the same chord instead of finishing the piece.

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?
