A key-code found in many Looking Glass and Ion Storm games including System Shock, Thief, System Shock 2, Bioshock, Dishonored, Deus Ex Franchise, and more!
Many think it's a reference to Fahrenheit 451, but it was actually the key-code to get into the Looking Glass offices in Cambridge.
It has now spread and become one of the defining things in immersive simulation games.

0451 was a code first used to unlock a vault in the game Deus Ex, published by Eidos Montreal. Since then, this code has showed up multiple times in a number of video games, including Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It is a reference to the book Fahrenheit 451. The code for the first door in System Shock was 451, a System Shock 2 door had 45100 as a code, and Bioshock had a room that required the code 0451 to enter. This number is now recognized by many Deus Ex fans. The art director of Eidos Montreal even tweeted to his followers that one of his flight numbers was 0451, and stated that Deus Ex fans would know what that meant.

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!

Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.
