The GUMS

An imaginary aliment suffered occasional by office employees. Actually an acronym that stands for "gotta use my sick-time." Used to describe someone who calls in sick without actually being sick simply to use up sick time before it expires.

"Bob is out sick today? I hope it's nothing serious"
"Nah, I think he just has a case of The GUMS"

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.
