used on someone who's in a bad mood and goes off the handle at friends and family over simple things....also a way of saying a woman has balls or says something with gusto; calling a woman tough and mean like a guy
note: it's quite sexist, so you might wanna consider who you use this on....make sure they have a sense of humor
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.
