When you successfully pass someone on a road, only to see them pull up beside you at the next set of stop lights.
Alex: ugh goddamn this slow guy, he's going 49 in a 50
Joe: Pass him dude
3 minutes later
Alex: oh the guy i passed is beside us now
Joe: Nice pass-fail man
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:
