Any one of the idiotic "vampires" of the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. In her clumsily written stories, instead of bursting into flames in sunlight, the vampires just shimmer and sparkle. How retarded is that?
"Anne Rice?? Who's that? I won't read any books that don't have sparklepires in it!!!1 Also, I'm illiterate."
Noun- 1. A wussified imitation of a vampire who has a strong liking for The Cure and melodramatic moping. They are characterized by refusal to drink human blood, being emotional pansies, being whiny and flighty and despite being ancient have the intelectual capacity and emotional makeup of a 12 year old girl. Most notably instead of doing something cool and dramatic like bursting into flames or turning to ash in sunlight they sparkle. More closely related to Faeries and ButtPixies than vampires.
2. any emo Edward Cullen wannabe surburbanite who tries to pull off the "angsty goth" look with clothes they bought at target.
1. "I know what you are. you're a-"
"Say it"
"you're a.. sparklepire
2. "Omg did you see that guy with all the makeup sitting by himself in the corner?"
"I know. Total sparklepire."
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.
