Outrage fatigue 

Throwing a massive tantrum to the point of both physical and mental exhaustion of the tantrum-er.

Most commonly seen in kids under the age of 9. Can also happen to adults who have anger issues (which could be quite devastating).
When little Johnny came out of his room to find his parents gone, he started to weep and cry. When their parents shortly came back, little Johnny was furious in tears and started screaming and wailing at them with all his might. Soon after 10 minutes he was so tired from all the screaming that he felt dizzy and collapsed onto the floor. Little Johnny just had an outrage fatigue.

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.
