markitecture 

A computing or networking architecture suggested by the marketing department for sales purposes rather than for technical reasons. Cisco calls them "reference designs".
The oldest mention of "markitecture" I can find dates back from 1990 :

CA 90s was characterized as a "markitecture" by Jeff Schulman, vice president and analyst with the Gartner Group, Stamford, Conn. "It is a marketing architecture, a statement of direction. It does not specify when products will be delivered, or which products will map to the architecture. It does not help users in a specific sense, only in a general sense".

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.

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.
