A provoking phrase used toward someone who looks as though he is about to do or say something to aggravate you, but hasn’t yet. Most often, after the person does or says that something, he wishes he hadn’t.
Amy: Oh my God, did just see that look I just got from our boss??
Sarah: No way! Why? Cause you’re wearing those jeans?
Amy: YES! Girl, it’s Friday, and these jeans look good.
Sarah: Shoot.
Amy: I am about to walk right into his office and be all like, “I wish you would say something about these jeans. I WISH YOU WOULD!”
Sarah: Shoot.
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:
