Dylan’s Law 

Any gathering amongst a group of friends will inevitably lead to somebody mentioning that one friend who you never talk to anymore, but was so ridiculous you still have to talk about - similar to Godwin’s law. A scheckel is charged to the one who says it.
“I think the Uber is a silver Prius” “haha remember when Dorfman tried to claim his Prius was a sports car?” “Boom, Dylan’s law strikes again. And yea he was so dumb.”

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:
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.
