Pararaffe 

A paraplegic giraffe. Most pararaffe cases have both front limbs missing. They tend to fall over easily. When their back limbs are missing, they are very fast sprinters. There have been no reported cases of pararaffes having one front and one back limb.
Tourist: why does that giraffe keep falling face first in the dirt everytime it gets up?

Safari Guide: No, no, no m'am. That's a pararaffe. It is all explained on page 13 of the guide book.

paragiraffe

A paragiraffe is longer than your average paragraph, and is slightly shorter than an essay. It is technically just a reallly tall paragraph, hence the inclusion of the word 'giraffe'.
Mr. Ephram was indecisive as to whether he wanted his students to write short answers or full out essays on our exams, so he decided to invent an in between option called the paragiraffe.

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.
