vivologism 

The reverse of a "definition". An existing word that is currently used by the masses, and which has a commonly agreed upon definition.
This is differs from "neologism" which means "newly coined word that has already gained popularity" and "protologism" which means "newly coined word that has no yet gained popularity and acceptance".
A "definition" is a mapping of 1 word to multiple words, whereas a vivologism is a mapping of multiple words to a single word.

The definition of "run" is to "move at a speed faster than a walk". The vivologism of "move at a speed faster than a walk" is the word "run".

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.
