Merkantalism
Merking everybody non-stop as they try to snake their way through traffic. Often used while playing Mario Kart as a policy towards the other racers. As they try to snake their way past you, you simply hit them with a shell, banana, bomb, or other item in order to merk them. When done correctly this will drop them back a few places as well as bring shame upon their racing reputation.
When Pat entered first place on his favorite course, Figure 8 Circuit, we all let out a chuckle as I said "Well look who's about to get merked by my blue shell." *I paused, waiting for my shell to hit Pat* "You can call that Merkantalism."

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.
