a non-fictionbook that is so valuable , so insightful, that you use it as a door stop, intentionally deceiving your freiends from not boorowing it or "stealing " it.
The book is giving me incredible insight. I better use it as a door stop book. No one will think to look down there for this . Who-ha-ha!
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.
