nerdfish 

Also known as nerd fish, nerd-fish,nerdfish etc.

A term originally coined in the early 1950's, and used predominantly amongst adolescent boys to describe fellow classmates. The term has homoerotic connotations, since to call someone a nerd fish(or any of its derivatives) implies a desire to copulate with them, due to a build up of sexual frustration.

Nerdfish was discontinued in the late 60's, as a result of children and adults alike finding the term lacking in what is today known as 'street-cred' , due to it's inherently negative connotations, and lack of versatility - in other words, it made nerds look bad, fish look bad, gay people look bad, and it was not easy to slip into a sentence.

The use of the word has since seen several attempts to revive it, but, due to it's lameness, it has thankfully not caught on. It is outlawed in the majority of the international community; Algeria in particular , where usage of the word is tantamount to burning the national flag and killing your family.

It is our responsibility as humans, to ensure that "nerdfish" and it's derivatives, do not sully the English language, for future generations.

Power Couple 

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 power couple, 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.

Shackteâu

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.
