gutter spare

When your bowling ball falls into the gutter, but still manages to get a spare. Usually when only one of the 7 or 10 pins are left standing from the previous frame.

I got 9 pins on the first ball, then I threw a gutter spare.

Person A: Did you see that? The ball rocked so far in the gutter that it clipped the 7 pin and I got a spare.
Person B: Yeah, dude! Nice gutter spare!

Gutter spare

In bowling: when the ball goes into the gutter on the first roll of the frame, but then knocks down all pins on the second try.

Your strikes are backward! You’ll never improve your score if you keep throwing gutter spares back to back!

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.
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 $2 million.
