DCI Zombie

A BDCI Zombie/B is any individual who is unconditionally loyal to Drum Corps International and its founders and supporters(qv) and holds an unshakeable belief that the drum and bugle corps activity began at its founding in the early 1970s.

A DCI Zombie may vaguely comprehend some realization that drum and bugle corps and competitions did indeed exist in quantity prior to DCI, but quickly dismisses all pre-1970 corps activity, history and personalities as non-relevant and unimportant.

DCI Zombies are highly protective of their parochiality, and usually any mention of the earlier, pre-DCI massive nationwide Golden Age popularity of drum corps in comparison to the severely-shrunken activity as it currently exists is quickly met with highly-defensive justifications usually based on personal loyalties.
(Also see "The DCI Lie".)

"She tried telling those DCI Zombies that we used to pull 40,000-plus fans every weekend all over the country back in the Golden Age, but they still thought that their 2,000-something was a good crowd."

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!

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
