Used by douchebags (or teens) to piss off all drivers in the immediate vicinity. Pulling this off requires great timing, patience and a LOT of balls. Typically seen in D.C., Chicago, Miami, and New York.

Guy B: You're dancing with the devil's wife.
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.
