Taken from 'The Big Bang Theory', this syndrome makes an individual make up fictional stories of living hard life in third world countries, in order to garner sympathy and attention.
Howard Wolowitz: Do I get an honorable mention for designing the telescope camera mounting bracket you used?
Rajnesh Koothrappali: Sorry; it's not part of my heart-warming and personal narrative, in which a humble boy from New Delhi overcame poverty and prejudice and journeyed to America to reach for the stars.
Howard Wolowitz: Poverty? Your father's a gynecologist. He drives a Bentley.
Named after Rajesh Koothrappali from the big bang theory, pulling a Koothrappali means using alcohol as a crutch for social awkwardness. Frequently used by your stereotypical nerd at parties.
Person A: damn, look at dave hitting up that girl, how the hell is he doing that? He can barely even talk to his teacher!
Person B:Dude, he’s pulling a koothrappali, saw him sneaking a thermos before the party.
Person A:yeah, that explains it.
A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.
Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.
In a powercouple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.
I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
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 $2 million.
