langelaaring 

The act of artificially scolding a coworker who is less experienced and/or less senior than you when noticing that they did something different than you would have done it, although there was no factual mistake in their way of doing things. The purpose of langelaaring is to re-establish traditional power relationships between senior and junior employees and are usually accompanied by sounds such as ‘tsk tsk tsk’ or repeating the name of the junior employee several times in a row.
Jessy: I suggested to do it differently this time but he just went off langelaaring me about it.
Jimmy: Oh, no, did he tell you what was wrong about it?
Jessy: No, he just kept shaking his head, called me a ‘youngster’, and told me I still had to learn a lot.

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.
