When you are in Thailand and you are blasted with a rush of strong wind. The strong wind 'Thaihoon' came from a speeding Thai driving a car at excessive speed and blasting out horrendous pop music.
Brendan; Oh man, I was bowled over by a Thaihoon recently in Bangkok!!! It was like a Typhoon. It came out of nowhere and when it was gone my clothes were schreded and my hat was missing!!!
Ashley; I know what your talking about. I was in Pattaya and I got hit by a Thaihoon too. I was left dazed and confused. My ears were ringing to the theme of Lady Gaga. I will never go to Thailand ever again!!!!
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.
