Shout-talk 

A particular means of verbal communication originating from Korea, whereby two or more individuals within close proximity shout for the extent of an entire conversation, instead of speaking at normal decibel levels. To the casual observer, the shout-talker and shout-listener may appear hard at hearing. Professors debate whether shout-talking is a byproduct of deafness, or the actual cause of deafness. The Chinese claim to have invented shout-talking, but they are actually just misappropriating a piece of Korea's 5000 year history and culture.

Shout-talkers view their own personal lives as ceaselessly interesting, and rejoice in sharing the details with anyone standing in a 100 meter radius.
Huh? What? I can't hear you because everyone around me is shout-talking.

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.
