Butter Zone

Similar to "the zone" or "the sweet spot"
Athletes are “in the butter zone” when they feel focused, energized, confident, and capable of maximal
performance in a seemingly effortless manner. Athletic “butter-zoning” requires the development of
athletic skills to the point that they are almost second-nature which, in turn, requires a strong
motivation to succeed.

When a computer goes faster and faster until it's thought processes become a loop and in the infinite moment before it crashes it becomes self aware, that, my friend, is the butterzone. When Keanu comes back to life in the first Matrix movie, and everything slows down and the bullets stop, that is the butterzone.

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.

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.
