MacGuffinite

A variant of Alfred Hitchcock's term "MacGuffin"; popularized by the 2025 DreamWorks Animation sequel "The Bad Guys 2" (the sequel to the 2022 furry favorite heist comedy film "The Bad Guys"; both loosely based on Aaron Blabey's book series), its earliest recorded use dates back to 2021 on this site in an entry by the one-entry wonder user "Tonk of the standard issue". In the context of the former's plot, it is depicted when Professor Marmalade (voiced by Richard Ayoade) tells Diane "Crimson Paw" Foxington (voiced by Zazie Beetz) during her visit the prison he is staying at, that Kitty Kat (a member of the rival "Bad Girls" voiced by Danielle Brooks) plans to use the International Space Station to steal all of the world's gold with such, shown as a rare metal which can magnetize gold with great force. In the case of the latter, it overall is a fictional material used to patch up logic in a story as noted by TOTSI.
Not gonna lie, that treasure chest the characters were after was a MacGuffinite imho.

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.
