pset
A pset is a vulgar slang word referring to MIT's weekly problem sets. As the atomic bomb is to dynamite, a pset is to homework at other "normal" colleges.
Get the pset mug.
psetting
MIT's verb for doing a problem set, or set of homework problems that are by far the most difficult in the world. MIT is hard, so they made up a verb for doing homework. Wow. All courses at MIT are also referred to as numbers.
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.
