Noun. A group of teenage mothers in a small town who walk up and down the main drag with their strollers late at night. Sometimes the babies in them are real, sometimes they are fake.
Damn, the Stroller Derby is taking up the whole sidewalk when I’m just trying to get to the froyo stand!
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.
