A term used to describe anti-American liberals, leftists, and socialists who contribute absolutely nothing of value to society while living off the hard work of true patriots. These individuals spend their days crying in the streets over imaginary oppression, drinking overpriced soy lattes, and playing video games instead of getting a real job. Unproductives are often found complaining about capitalism, despite enjoying its benefits, and blaming hardworking, red-blooded Americans for their self-inflicted failures.
While I was out working a 12-hour shift to provide for my family, the unproductives were busy protesting cow farts and crying about the lack of vegan options at Starbucks. Typical.
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.
