techtarian 

A political-economic system in which totalitarian attributes are enabled by pervasive technology, especially when related to big data.

Technology + Totalitarian = Techtarian

Early aspects of techtarianism can be seen in the United States PRISM project, China's attempts to use technology to monitor and control freedom of expression, State linked shut-downs of communications in times of crisis, wholesale monitoring of international communication systems, and systematic monitoring of big data to produce probabilities and risk profiles for those monitored, regardless of suspicious activity or nefarious intent by those monitored and/or without knowledge of those monitored.
While the ultimate manifestations of techtarian systems are not yet defined, the use of technology toward totalitarian ends is emerging as a result of state based efforts to manipulate, monitor and control aspects of technology for the purposes of advancing state based objectives.

technotarian

Technological Libertarian i.e. someone who believes that technological innovation and the Internet are best governed by free market principles. This use of the term is believed to be coined by the LAUNCH Conference blog team in a post on BitCoins (L019: Bitcoin P2P Currency: The Most Dangerous Project We've Ever Seen, Posted Sunday, May 15, 2011)

From the LAUNCH blog:
We made this term up to describe the “good people” of the internet who believe in the fundamental rights of individuals to be free, have free speech, fight hypocrisy and stand behind logic, technology and science over religion, political structure and tradition. These are the people who build and support things like Wikileaks, Anonymous, Linux and Wikipedia. They think that people can, and should, govern themselves. They are against external forms of control such as DRM, laws that are bought and sold by lobbyists, and religions like Scientology. They include splinter groups that enforce these ideals in the form of hacktivism, such as the takedown of the Sony Playstation Network after Sony tried to prosecute a hacker for unlocking its console.
You'd think that Bob would be in favor of Net Neutrality to help keep ISPs from creating different classes of Internet users, but he's a Technotarian so he doesn't believe that the government has a right to regulate ISPs in the first place.

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.
