technopolis 

1)A metropolis that is littered with high technology like computers and robotics to the point it becomes part of the city's culture and/or religion.

(Today's cities only display the early stages of this phenomenon in the form of large TV screens, lights, people with robotic prosthetic limbs and various other technolgies.)

2) A technopolis is a city where robots and cyborgs are so commonplace that complex computers, robotic parts and artificial intelligence programs can be seen in trash bins and/or are sold freely on the street.

3)A common setting in science fiction stories.
Tokyo may become a technopolis in the future (if it isn't already).

Any 'Future Tokyo' in an anime likely IS a technopolis.

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.
