The act of taking a baseball bat and hitting someone about the knees, shins, ribs, head, or any other part of their body, in order to extract some cold-blooded retribution. Usually practiced by the mafia (or angry dads who just found out their daughters got boned by a dude they disapprove of) or anyone who wants to make a quick statement loud and clear.
Did you hear those c***suckers got what was coming to them? Vinnie just got back from ballbatting their knees after they ducked him for more than a year for the 5 grand they owed him!
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2million.
