Prompty Dumpty 

A term describing the frustrating experience when a carefully crafted AI prompt produces unexpected or nonsensical results. Often used in the context of AI language models or chatbots.
Example of use: "I spent an hour perfecting my prompt, but the AI's response was complete Prompty Dumpty - it totally missed the point and gave me useless information.
I spent an hour crafting the perfect prompt, but it was just another case of Prompty Dumpty - the AI's response fell far short of what I wanted.

Promptlagging

The unproductive trance you fall into while waiting for an AI prompt to finish so you can actually do the thing you wanted to do. You can't start the next task because the answer isn't here yet, and you can't walk away because you'll lose your flow. So you just sit there. Watching a spinner. Slowly dying. A blend of "prompt" and "lagging" — like jetlag, but induced by a language model instead of a time zone.
"Sorry I missed your message, I was deep in promptlagging — Claude was cooking on a 200k-context refactor and I just stared at the loading dots like a dog at a window."

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.
