Shot House 

A black market bar where shots of liquor can be bought at low prices straight from the bottle. Many shot houses also sell beer after hours. They are usually run out of someone's apartment or house and known only by neighbors.

Shot houses are also a common place for people without official identification (whether underage or illegal immigrants) to buy alcohol.

Shot-House 

Formerly: a place to go to buy "a shot" of liquor if you are underage, or if the area is a devoid of bars.

Recently: a place to buy liquor or drugs, and if things go badly, you could get shot.

The locations are usually at "holes-in-the-wall" or is on a "back road". You are generally allowed in if someone knows you as an acquaintance (or "friend"), otherwise you are watched suspiciously and it could end badly. They do not have a license to sell open containers nor to sell alcohol to-go so participants generally avoid police, State Alcohol Beverage Control Department, and ATF (and DEA). Participants also may come and go high or intoxicated, much like at an actual bar.
Kelly: The shot-house has too many cars halfway in the narrow street now that it is payday.
Ken: There is as much scrap metal on the ground from beer cans as there are shell casings at that shot-house.

Dana: That's what makes the difference between a Hopping and a crawl!
Ryan: (Drunk, Rolling on the ground laughing)

House Shot 

A term used to describe something very easy, often times used by, and around bowlers.

Note that a house shot is an oil pattern put down onto bowling lanes for league or open play, and generally not in sport competition. A house shot is much easier than a sport shot, or a competitive oil condition, so good bowlers tend to discredit the house shot and use it as a term to describe something easy outside the bowling alley as well.
"Man that girl is such a house shot!"
"Yeah anyone could get at her!"

shot that horse in the face 

When a person or persons misses an opportune moment and can not go back to make corrections.
I had one chance to impress the board of directors with my presentation, but I left my presentation materials on the train in Brooklyn. Now Gary gets the promotion. Man, I really shot that horse in the face.

Horse Shot 

It is similar to that email of that horse and the woman. The woman became famous from the horse shooting cum on her face.

That stock is going up in price so much I did horse shot on it!

Joe & I ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio from the bar & proceeded to fill our glasses up evenly. Then we took our Housewife Shots. The only thing missing was some roofies.
