Running blacks

All-black clothing worn by stagehands and other "behind-the-scene" personal in live theatre, some movie production, and live-action gaming.

Black clothing is hard for the audience to see, allowing stagehands to move scenery while attention stays focused on the actors.
"As long as you have a good set of running blacks, we'd be happy to have you help out as a stagehand for the school play."

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.
