A Mobile Speed Camera. A talivan is a speed camera inside a police van, so that it can be moved from place to place, such as motorways or straight A-roads. They are revenue raising instruments that cause accidents (rather than prevent them as the operators claim)
That 'Davies Builders' van has parked right up against the talivan, so they've driven off in annoyance...

American Taliban 

A U.S. citizen and traitorous idiot who was captured in Afghanistan at the start of the war there against the Taliban after the 9/11 attacks. Real name John Walker Lindh, born in Washington D.C., he became radicalized and converted to Islam as a teen, then went to the Mideast to train and fight along with the Taliban punks against the U.S.

Could also refer to any U.S. citizen or resident who lives/lived or was born in the U.S. but becomes a radicalized Muslim and joins forces with the foreign Taliban or Taliban-related group, against the U.S.
I'm worried about Jimmy and his sudden strange behaviors, proclaiming Sharia Law and booking trips to the Mideast for "education." I hope he won't become another American Taliban.

Talibangelical 

A Bible Belt Republican who is terrified that Muslims want to bring Sharia law to the US, yet wants to make abortions punishable by death. Wants to indoctrinate children in schools and teach creationist bullshit rather than evolution, and claims God put dinosaur fossils in the earth to test Christian faith, but they don't possess the the self awareness or critical thinking ability to understand that they actually DO want Sharia law, but with white people.
I'm so tired of seeing Talibangelicals with their posters of embryos outside Planned Parenthood, harrassing women who are there to refill their birth control.

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.
