Get the shelling housemug. house ball
ˈhau̇s ˌbȯl
noun
1. A pinball term: the ball that drains immediately after being launched, typically going straight down the middle or out an outlane, before the player has any chance to make contact with a flipper. Often compared to a casino “house win,” since the machine effectively keeps the player’s money without providing any meaningful play.
2. Informal: An exaggerated complaint made by a pinball player who insists that house balls occur to them far more often than to anyone else, despite all evidence to the contrary. Usually accompanied by dramatic outbursts, theatrical sighs, or the conviction that the universe is conspiring against them personally.
— house ball, verb
house-balled; house-ball·ing
: to suffer an immediate drain without making contact with the flippers
Etymology:
First known use: mid-20th century pinball arcades, where unlucky plunges were said to be “claimed by the house.” In modern usage, the term has expanded to describe both the event and the theatrical meltdown of certain players who treat every house ball as a cosmic injustice aimed squarely at them.

Get the Herman Gardens Housing Projectsmug. A Scottish person that has shaped their identity specifically for the approval of English people. They do this to further their careers in business and the media. A house jock will play up to certain stereotypes of Scottish people such as friendliness and drunkeness for the entertainment of an English audience. What they will never do is critique English culture, the monarchy or show support for Scottish independence. Deep down they are ashamed of themselves for playing this role or they have self loathing for being Scottish.
There are two subsections of House Jock:
1) Upper/ Middle Class: they have more in common with wealthy English people than they do working class Scottish people. They like Burns Suppers and Scotland Rugby but they benefit from unionism so remain subservient
2) Working class: They have ties to Rangers or Heart of Midlothian Football Clubs. They cling to the idea of a British identity, usually with support for the army or hatred towards the Irish. The idea of an independent Scotland severely threatens their identity
