Our society has been stratified into two main class. These are the upper strata and the lower strata. The people who exists in the lower strata are basically leaving in the ghettos like places where they don't get any types of social services required for the standard level of life. so when we think about the concept margin the think which come in our mind is a group of people who are the worst sufferers and excluded from the main strata of the society.
The low paid workers, blue collar jobs holder, informal workers and like these people are the margin people in our society.

"In contrast to the interpretations of Western commentators, the “margin-dweller” of Upanishadic criticism, Grinshpon argues that the metaphysical philosophy of the Upanishads cannot be reduced to “contents” and studied without consideration of the lives and experiences (or contexts) of Upanishadic characters if we want to understand the full import of early Indian religious literature."

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.
