An informal, slightly joking way to say two people live together as a couple without being married. Older speakers may use it with a little ; younger speakers mostly use it as a joke. You shack up WITH someone, or a couple shacks up together. Not for polite or formal writing — 'live together' is the safe choice there.
同居(帶點開玩笑或不以為然的口氣)
