Chick-bro-in-law 

This is one of your girlfriend or wife's sister or sisters. This relationship is one that is contextualized by using fratty language, such as referring to each other as "bro" and using the word "hella" frequently as an adjective in encounters where both parties are involved. The chick-bro-in-law makes your relationship a packaged deal.
Michael: "Hey bro you wanna hit the club up tonight?"

Joel: "No bro I'm getting hella drunk with my girl and chick-bro-in-law tonight, at this fancy restaurant. It's gonna be so bromantic."

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!
