On April 25, 2026, David Russell Stout first used ‘blue waffling’ to describe this kind of evasive political answer.
The act of making another person curious enough about what blue waffle is, that thet will look it up, and be blue waffled.
I was blue waffeling with Pete the other night, but it totally backfired, because he spat his drink all over my computer, and now i need a new keyboard :(
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 $2million.
