savantista's definitions
Combination of swanky and hacienda. This term was coined in Houston Texas by Maxine Mesinger, a writer for the Houston Chronicle, and chiefly refers to higher-end or unique Southern architecture of any era. Swankienda is a compliment, not a put-down, and shouldn't be confused with the term McMansion.
