**At the grocery store, Max is comparing prices to find the cheapest oatmeal. Tim stands by.**

Max: This is bullshit. I need a job.
Tim: I think they're hiring for cashiers here.
Max: Meh. I want a GOOD job. I'll just catch-me-if-you-can my way into being a doctor or something.
Tim: Do it.

**Four months later, "Dr. Max" is arrested and charged for manslaughter, but is set free by "Warden Tim" who catch-me-if-you-canned his way into an interesting new career.**

catch me if you can 

a nicer way of telling someone, " stop being a stupid porchdog and at least try to give me a decent counter argument"
When you say catch me if you can to someone, you can't be considered a pundit because you know that the person you are talking to is indeed capable of having a coherent argument with you and is being lazy.

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.
In use:
