RTJR

phrase.

An acronym of the phrase "raise the jolly roger" used by local baseball broadcasters for the Pittsburgh Pirates following a victory.

The non-abbreviated form would be "Raise the jolly roger" where "jolly roger" refers to the flag design of a skull and crossbones often used by sea-faring pirates. (see Jolly Roger)

It's a fly ball deep to left center and the Pirates make the catch. RTJR! Raise the jolly roger!

A walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth! RTJR!

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.
