Profaffinating 

The art or skill of professionally waisting time.

Chiefly UK English.

An amalgamation of pro + faff

Somewhat akin to procrastinating, instead of thinking it would relate to waisting time.

For example. When leaving your house, then returning to collect your phone, then leaving again to return to pick up an umbrella.
Sorry we're late we were profaffinating.

Yesterday i profaffinated for so long i missed the last bus.

You deserve a gold medal for time spent profaffinating

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.
