DeVry university 

A private college (not funded by the public purse). As a result, the tuition fees are high; the good side to this is that you won't fuck around when you're spending all that money for the course. DeVry grads are respected and you are virtually guaranteed that you will be able to get a job when you graduate. I have worked with many DeVry grads in my field (electronics) and have found them to be used to hard work, putting in a good effort, achieving results, and doing fine work. Also they are notably on time for meetings and they come prepared.
Oh, the new hire went to DeVry...I can't foresee us having any problems with his/her on-the-job training phase.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.

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.
