A more humorous butchering of the common cliche, “It takes a village to raise a baby”. You can use it to playfully make fun of your friends when they mix metaphors or butcher common idioms (see example below) and chances are they won’t notice it.
Me: Yo Derrick, my dog won’t stop pissing on the carpet again
Derrick: For all intensive purposes, you should probably nip that behavior in the butt before he does it again
Me: Well you know what they say, Derrick: it takes a baby to raise a village, after all

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:
