Its a term that came from my dad and were from quebec so if you pull it off make sure to use some accent.
It is pronouced like caboshon for noobies but if you add some little spice(quebecois accent)it will do the trick for insults.
someone who worries obsessively about everything that has to do with their cat(s) and who believes that their cat(s) is an actual family member. A Catochondriac is someone with an obsession for cats. They spend excessive amounts of money on their feline companions to make them happy and often are caught talking to them as though they will answer. This disorder is often accompanied with other OCD Obsessive compulsive disorders like hording (cats). It is believed that it cannot be cured using mainstream phsychotherapy etc.
The veterinarian told the woman that she was a catochondriac and suggested she see a psychologist before she drove her cats nuts.
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??!!
A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
