Picture this, you're sitting in your English class and an overweight girl walks up to the teacher's desk asking him a question. It is about 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside and she decided to wear short shorts. Every step she takes is like watching curdled cheese jiggle.
*Chubby lass walks in front of you*
Your buddy: Bloody hell! Look at the curdled cheese on her legs!
You: I think I've lost my lunch.
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 $2 million.
