A strange phenomenon in which the following occurs:-
Man A: Boy the road sure is clear today I believe I shall cross it
*A huge line of cars suddenly appears from no-where and starts to drive in front of the man*
-3 hours later-
Man A: I am still waiting for the right moment to cross the road safely.
Taken from a particular Pink Panther episode where the panther puts his toe on the road and cars appear from nowhere
Oh man, I was trying to cross the road but the Pink PantherEffect stopped me
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 $2million.
