Verb. Bastardized Swedish: eating one's dinner on the couch while watching a serialized television program, such as "House MD". Any series may be substituted for this purpose, so long as there are enough episodes to establish it as a long term routine.
Husband: "Dinner is ready."
Wife: "Shall we cütchenhüs?"
Husband: "Yes. I have been looking forward to a good cütchenhüs all day."
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.
