selling dreams 

When someone gives you what-if scenarios that could hypothetically come true, giving false hope and then you finding out that they sold you words (a "dream"), that could never be achieved.
EXAMPLE 1:

What happened to you Alyssa?

Oh, I'm so bummed out.

Why is that?

Josh was selling me dreams. He said he bought a house when I decided to move to "__" with him, but he still lives with his parents. What am I going to do?

EXAMPLE TWO:

Josh, I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?

Dude, I found out Alyssa was selling me dreams.

Selling dreams?

She never loved me, all she said was stuff that she wanted to marry me, but it turns out she never loved me in the first place.

A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.

flophouse 

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

Hate Sink 

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.
