mcconaissance 

Matthew McConaughey was getting big in the 90's and then had string of poor role choices. Notably, Sahara. He was thought of as a bad actor with a pretty face and charming accent. Then he was recognized critically for Mud and suddenly his career took off again. He did Wolf of Wall Street and Interstellar, for example, during the McConaissance.

Matthew McConaughey gained popularity for his rom-coms. Even though he loved the roles, he wanted to be rebranded.

Therefore, Matthew took a hiatus from appearing in rom-com films until he was offered a lead role in The Lincoln Lawyer, followed by Killer Joe, Bernie, The Paper Boy, Mud, and Magic Mike.

These movie offers were back-to-back, giving the actor the "rebranding" he was holding out for. Renaissance is defined as "rebirth or revival" allowing Matthew McConaughey's new brand to be known as the mcconaissance.

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.
