Stiven is the best thing that could ever happen to you. He is cute but hot at the same time. He makes your kokoro go boom boom. He is the definition of perfect gentleman. When it comes to having him as your brother or friend, he's very supportive, understanding and loving. He is soft and slow to anger but when things are off the limits, you don't wanna mess with him.

Stiven as a boyfriend is very romantic because he's an old type lover, he's loyal and respectful. He will love you just the way you are so you don't have to worry about your flaws.

Also someone as Stiven gets jealous easily so you need to confront him that no matter what, he's the one and only.

Also there's a lot more to this name Stiven but I don't think words would be enough to describe them.

The most incredible guy in the universe, end of story. He’s very sweet, caring, and truly amazing. He always knows the perfect thing to say and the right time to say it. He can take your breath away and leaves you speechless and also can make your head spin, skip a heartbeat. And he also has a way of making your heart melt like no one else ever will . And also has the greatest respect to the opposite sex but annoy them because its a hint that they are loved by the most amzaing guy.Bottom line Shiven is so AWESOME, it’s almost impossible to find the words to match.

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.

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.
