When you go to a gay bar/club despite being straight. Then when someone tries to get frisky with you, you feel kinda guilty because you kind of led them on, I mean you are in a gay bar after all. So you let them have a quick grope.

gaytaxia 

An effeminate way of walking that is suggestive of, though neither necessary nor sufficient for, being gay. This walk, also known as a mince, often emphasizes hip movements, floppy wrists, loose shoulders and a generally camp demeanor.

In straight men may indicate metrosexual tendancies or pretensions to employment in the fashion industry.

Background: Gaytaxia derives from "ataxia" and "ataxic gait", which mean to walk in an unusual manner and are symptomatic of involuntary muscular disorders. By contrast, gaytaxia is predominantly an affectation cultivated with some effort.

Variations: gaytaxic, gaytaxic gait, gaytaxic batchelor (possibly gay single metrosexual)
"That guy is so camp, check out that blatant gaytaxia"

"Dale Winton is a screaming, albeit gaytaxic, heterosexual"

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.
