"That guy is so vapid, the chat was total shop talk"
"Don't ask me how the weather is, I hate shop talk"
"Our conversation was like the shop talk of sedated housewives"
When bored guys rag on each other at work, with no actualharm intended.
shop talk example:
Person 1: "Need a hand carrying that box?"
Box Carrier: "Nah, I got it"
Person 2 (Usually shouted from a neighboring room): "He could use the exercise anyway"
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.
