armpit of the South 

regional expression for South Carolina, reference to the perception among other 'southern states' that South Carolina is prone to embarrassment. Fittingly, though somewhat unrelated to the definition, armpits and South Carolina share the traits of being humid and containing a vital artery of the overall entity (in this analogy, the South).

armpit of the south 

Columbia, South Carolina. A city that is below sea level that traps heat and stays in the 100s but is not close to water. There is also little intelligence and all trees in the hell hole were cut down and turned to pavement. The city is full of ghetto and trailer parks, most graduates of the lowly Univ of South Carolina that produces educations less than academic standards of most developed nations.
Is there anyway to get between the great towns of Greenville and Charleston with out having to drive through the armpit of the south?

The best thing that happened to the armpit of the south is when General Sherman burnt it to the ground.

A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.

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!
