Attitone
at·ti·tone
The combination of attitude and tone of voice used towards the other participant in an argument or conversation.
The most easily detected and commonly used attitone is the aggressive kind.
The right use of attitones is crucial in some social encounters.
e.g. When applying for a position in psychology, you shouldn't arrive with your fist clenched and yell at the employer.

Elderly gentleman to young punk: Don't use that attitone with me, young man!
(The elderly gentleman will probably get his ass kicked in this case, but there are some elderly gentlemen who can pack a heavy punch. You have been warned!).
Father to son: There will be no use of that attitone in this household!
(this is a more typical case when you're in a oral argument with your kids and want to prevent your kids from acting like assholes at home).

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.
