shucking

A slang term used in the Data Hoarder community to describe the act of buying an external hard drive for a discounted price and extracting the actual HDD inside for use in a desktop computer or a server.

Drives acquired in this manner are often significantly cheaper than if the HDD was bought as a standalone product off the shelf.
Dude, you won't believe this, I bought this external HDD yesterday, shucked it and the drive inside is like twice the price of this whole thing. I saved like a 100 dollars! Shucking is awesome!

He: Your boyfriend's really into ecology these days!
She: Yeah, he's even into outside-edge shopping?
He: Meaning?
She: He only buys stuff that is displayed around the outside edge of the supermarket because he thinks it's ecologically less damaging than the rest of the stuff there -- and better for you.
He: Neat!

strategically shacking

When someone (usually a girl) plans on shacking with someone of the opposite sex, but doesn't want the other person to know she planned on staying over, she packs strategic items in her purse, such as a contact case, make-up remover, toothbrush, maybe even flip flops.
"I planned on strategically shacking, and it worked--he had no idea I had my contact solution and toothbrush in my purse!"
