Urban Dictionary syndrome

When someone stumbles upon Urban Dictionary when looking for words on Google, thinking that Urban is the name of just another dictionary publisher. They look up a word, find something silly or offensive, and wonder what Urban Dictionary is.
I got Urban Dictionary syndrome in 2007 when I discovered Urban Dictionary looking for big number names like googoldecaplex. I looked up another word and was shocked at a word that came into view.

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.
