Used when someone states the bloody obvious, taken from playwright Alan Bennett's Talking Head "HER BIG CHANCE", the story of a vaccuous actress who employs this phrase constantly when trying to seduce the director of a porn film, the aforementioned Simon.

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:
