Slaw job 

A complex, painful, and pointless task assigned by a superior purely for his own self-aggrandizement in front of his superiors. Best responded to by a subtle act of malicious obedience that results in the superior's embarrassment, thus becoming a true Milwaukee slaw job.
"I'm going to be here all weekend on this, but when my boss tries to present this, this slaw job's on him because he doesn't understand the kind of math I'm using."

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.
