The best of the worst. Tool and widget retailer in the U.S. who sells heap, sketchy, one-time-use tools made only of the finest Chinesium. These products typically are all labled "Known to the state of Cancer to cause california". Other names for this retailer include "Harmful Fright Fools" and "The Usual Scumbags". Don't forget to engage your Safety Squints when using the brittle, shrapnel-sending devices purchased here.
I don't have enough money to buy a "Fap-On" tool... Guess I will head down to the usual scumbags "Harbor Freight" to purchase some cancer.
Describes da terror you feel when first trying out a tool from da infamous-for-crappy-quality "big red, white, and blue" hardware store, knowing dat said implement might likely break or malfunction "right out of da box".
My best friend was buying me a gift card for my birthday, and offered me a choice of several major retailers; I told her dat any store other than Harbor Fright would be fine.
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 $2million.
