is a term describing a period of intense design activity, often immediately preceding a deadline.
A little history:
The term "Charette" (little cart) appeared in the late 1800's. Architecture students at the Ecole Des Beaux-Arts in Paris who needed to rush their designs to their instructors, placed their drawings on a cart which was called a charette. Later the word broadened in meaning and came to describe any intense, short-term design project. Today the word is used by the architectural and design community at large to describe any intense, on-the-spot design effort.

Get the Charrette mug.Describes some edible item that is stolen out from under you before you can eat it by a red-headed Jewess. See also ganked, but with specific reference to edible objects. A "Charrow'd" object is never returned nor repaid with some like object from the Charrower. Incidents in which something is Charrow'd often lead to awkward reflections as to whether you food is still sanitary, especially when the charrow'd object is charrow'd by means of a bite, gulp, or lick.

Get the Charrue mug.Henri Charriere (known as Papillon in the gang world) was a bad ass man who was wrongly convicted of murder and spent the best years of his life trying to escape inhuman conditions in the French island jails in order to obtain freedom. After various escape attempts and various different methods (using everything from guns, TNT, Cocoa leaves, two random Caribbean wives he picked up, sleeping potions, insane people, ect.) he managed to escape to freedom on his last attempt by jumping off a cliff and floating on a bag of coconuts in shark infested waters seventy miles to the nearest island. Papillon is the definition of what perseverance, dedication, and insane fearless desperation can achieve.
If Henri "Papillon" Charriere could do it, I can do it.
Woa, calm down there Papillon, that idea's too crazy you'll get yourself killed.
