Cablegami 

Refers to the art of arranging the cables inside one's computer case in a very tightly-integrated, neat, airflow-friendly manner. (This is especially important for those with windows in their rigs.) Derived from the Japanese "origami", the art of paper folding. Cablegami not only involves folding and twisting of cables, but, like origami, it is maddeningly difficult to do well.
"Man, did you see the cablegami that guy with the acrylic case pulled off?"
"Yeah, for a second I thought he had a wireless hard drive."

A play on the word Watergate from the early 1970s U.S. political scandal that eventually resulted in the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon.
Julian Assange awaits extradition from Britain to Sweden on trumped up rape charges, but everyone knows he's really a victim of international political intrigue regarding his roll in Cablegate.

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!
