flashsideways

Similar to a flashback or flashforward but shows events that would transpire if a character's life would have turned out differently than what happened in the original timeline.

This concept was first started in the 6th season of the tv series Lost.

Guy1: "Man, imagine what my life would be like in a flashsideways timeline if Emily didn't break up with me?"

Guy2: "I know man, I know. Just let the tears out!"

flash sideways

A flash sideways is not a flashback, flash-forward or an alternate timeline. It posits what would have happened if one event didn't.

In the ABC Television show Lost, a flash sideways shows what would have happened if Oceanic flight 815 didn't crash on the island but instead landed in Los Angeles.

Power Couple

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.

I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.

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.
