inode

The node structure for an element of vfs is called a vnode. In hax0rspeak, vnode is used to one-up someone after they say "inode"..

An appropriate hacker conversation involving inode and vnode would be:

"Dude, that girl is hot"
"inode" (i know)
"VNODE!!"
"DAMN!!!!"

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.
