It is when a sports franchise team performs poorly on a habitual basis. They rack up losing records, wasting young talent and draft picks. It is also a monetary matter.
1. — Do you think the Detroit Pistons will make the Playoffs by next year?
2. — Heck no! They’re a poverty franchise.
A scumbag team full of scumbag fans and players who only really care when in contention. A franchise who used to have glory but clearly has been out of the glory days for so long that half of their “fans” who cheer for their team three nights a year have no memory of the glory days because they’ve sucked for so long.
Did you hear? The San Diego Padres are having a parade for almost winning a playoff series against the Dodgers. What a poverty franchise hahaha they are so bad they celebrate almost winning!
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 $2million.
