"His-ouse" (Noun) Place of domicile; refuge, home. synonim: "crib"


History: Coined into the Eubonic vernacular by members of the L.A. Crip Gang from Compton in the late 1970's. Often used both in and out of prison as a misguided tool to pass information undetected. Problems arose several years following its release when the fad of speaking in the pretend language back fired on gang causing rapid abandonment.
example sentence: "Yo Amanda, we just chillin' at the Hol-i-day Inn so come outta dat hisouse you in and bring dat back right cheer"

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.
