But with a little flair. Can be:
1) a little more intimidating, as in toying with someone. (Tell me the truth.) Or,
2) just trying to sound cool (sometimes sounds FOOL or like a prick).
1) DX: "So tell me Regina. You sez you at home all night; but, my boyz seen you riding the Avenues in a black Beamah! Now ... WHAT'S THE DEALIO?!"

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.
