Indo-Canadian 

An incorrect term used by ignorant or divisive people to describe a Canadian citizen with Indian ethnicity. Sometimes used to subtly imply race. Sometimes used by fresh off the boat Canadians, who still have more loyalty to India, to show they think Canada is a joke. The correct terminology would be to describe citizenship as Canadian and ethnicity as Indian, separately.
Example 1:
News Reporter: "An Indo-Canadian man was charged today with stealing a box of Samosas..."

Ethnically Indian, Canadian News Viewer (to friend): "Why did they mention the "Indo", why not just say brown, or you know, not mention any racial indicators."

Example 2:
Dumb White Liberal Lunatic: "We need to celebrate multiculturalism. Look at Raj, he is an Indo-Canadian man and we are going to celebrate his unique culture."

Raj: "Actually, I am Canadian and have the exact same culture as most Canadians. Indo-Canada is not a real country. I am a Canadian citizen and my ethnicity is Punjabi, because when my great grandparents immigrated to Canada, after fighting for the British empire, India wasn't even a country yet. I have never been to India and have nothing to do with it. I don't even believe in multiculturalism. If you're trying to identify me as a minority, my race is Caucasoid Indo-Aryan and my pigmentation is brown. Saying Indo-Canadian makes as much sense as mixing my age and gender, I am not twent - many, I am twenty and a man."

Example 3:
Fresh Off the Boat Dipper (in Hindi): "India is motherland, number 1. You must never forget where you come from. I remember the cows and the fields... beautiful. You are Indian first."

Ethnically Indian, Canadian: India has done nothing for me, and I have never been a part of Indian society. If you love India so much why don't you stay there. Damn FOBS!!!"

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!

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.
