A derogatory nickname for Best Buy’s IT team the Geek Squad, primarily because they are so incapable of even adequately communicating with other humans.
Many times I’ve engaged the Geek Wads with a question that I’ve found they are sorely inadequate to even remotely comprehend; they see people like me as profoundly “retarded” and they frankly need translators who can understand both the English language as well as Geek to help them get the complex and extraordinarily fast responses they muster into a format I am capable of grasping.
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.
