A shack can be a precarious home.
A small hostel
It is common to use the term “cabin” to refer to a very small, isolated shelter that usually provides shelter for a guard or guard. This worker uses the cabin to take shelter.
Let's take the case of a gatekeeper . This person, whose job is to ensure the proper functioning of the gates and thus guard a level crossing, usually has a booth at his disposal. This way, whenever his job allows, he can stay protected from the elements and use a basic resting infrastructure.
The shack as a precarious dwelling
A shack is often referred to as an informal or precarious dwelling . These structures are usually built with improvised materials and are fragile .
The shacks are located in settlements such as shanty towns , shanty towns , cantegriles or favelas , depending on the regional name. Their construction is not governed by safety regulations and they are built without taking into account urban planning.
A shack can have a dirt floor and walls and a roof made of metal , to mention one possibility. Those who live in these types of places do not have the financial resources to build, rent or buy a conventional property.
A ticket office
In some countries, a booth is the place where tickets are issued to enter the cinema , theatre, etc. In this sense, the notion can be used as a synonym for box office or ticket office .
Anyone who wants to buy a ticket to attend a film screening, a play, a concert, a football match or any other similar event can go to the booth and buy the ticket. They must then give the seller the appropriate amount of money to take their ticket.
The squares on the chess board are called squares.
The boxes in the games
Board games are usually divided into squares. Each square is a compartment, which may have different properties or functions depending on the rules .
In chess , the squares on the board are called squares . There are sixty-four squares in total, half of which are light-coloured (usually white) and the other half are dark-coloured (black).
The post office box
It is interesting to note that in several countries , post office boxes are referred to as PO boxes . Although they are not as important now, PO boxes were very important decades ago.
A post office box is a section or box in a post office with a number. This space is rented and allows its owner to receive mail, which is stored there until it is collected.
To get out of the boxes
Finally, we can mention the expression “sacar de sus casillas” or other similar ones, which refer to making someone lose their patience or become upset.
Let's suppose that a footballer is in charge of chasing and bothering an opponent all over the field: he pushes him, touches him, speaks in his ear... He does everything possible so that his opponent does not have contact with the ball and is forced to play uncomfortably. The athlete who is the victim of this strategy finally gets angry and punches the player from the other team. It can be said, then, that the latter has managed to "get him mad."
