stagflation 

The state of being economically fucked.

Unemployment is high, and so is inflation. Increasing economic production will reduce unemployment, BUT push inflation even higher. Reducing economic production will reduce inflation, but put more people out of work.
What am I supposed to do about this stagflation?

I dunno. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, really.

stagdation

Portmanteau of "stagnation" and "date". A relationship plateau which happens somewhat inevitably in every dating relationship, wherein the romance basically boils down to small talk and the same old boring jokes and phrases.

Deep inside, the male part(s) of the equation (if present) usually just want to cut the crap and get on with the smexy time. In contrast, female part(s) of the equation (if present) usually want to get back into an active relationship again. If denied, the female may just break up with her partner and leave it at that. Stagdation is usually unavoidable and is notoriously hard to remove oneself from.
Partner A: So, the... uh weather's pretty good. We should go for a walk and then maybe get an iced latte or something. And I have reservations to Olive Garden for tomorrow... maybe we can meet your friends.

Partner B: <thought><tuneout>Damnit, this used to be fun with him... I gotta find a way outta this stagdation plateau.</tuneout></thought>

Both: <thought>Why doesn't he/she cut the crap and skip to the smexy time?</thought>

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.
