(video games) So cheap it should be considered cheating. Typically describes a technique in a fighting game that instantly or flawlessly defeats the opponent, or a move that has no flaws and deals insane damage.
Derived from Super Smash Brothers (N64), whose fighter "Link" has the most powerful arsenal of extremely cheap attacks ever seen in a fighting game.
Originally coined by R. Sosa ("Twinkin' Out With Red Mage")
a gratuitous piece of blatent cheating whereby the cheater knows he's doing it and is proud of the fact that its that blatent, that he carries on doing it regardless
Look at that exhibition of abject cheatery. I can't believe he thinks he's getting away with that.
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.
