Doing a Michael is a term best used when someone is doing something awfully daft.
1. "Oh no, please don't do a Michael again..."
2. (Guy jumps over two buildings 10 feet apart from each other) "Uh oh... Guess hes doing a Michael..."
3. (Opening the window in a car wash) "God damn it Kevin, don't do a Michael..."
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.
