A game played by three or more people generally in a basement and late at night. Players bounce a tennis ball off various objects: floor, ceiling, chairs, other players, ect, and into a small trash can. When one player makes a shot the next player must make the same shot. If that player misses they get a letter, and if a player spells out RATCHET they are out. Last player in wins.
Person 1: Do you want to play ratchetball tonight bro?

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.

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.
