A gateway cat is a cat that leads its owner to get multiple cats. It starts when someone adopts or buys a single cat. Eventually this person will get another cat to keep the original cat (the gateway cat) company or some other lame excuse. Before you know it, the individual has 40 something cats, is single, and appears on the show "Animal Hoarders".
Pam "I'd like to get a pet. Should I get a cat?"
Amy "NO! It isn't just a cat, it's a gateway cat. You can't have just one. Why don't you get a rabbit instead?"
What you scream when your Xbox 360 gets the Red Ring Of Death thus rendering it useless as anything but a paperweight.
Actually its a phrase I started saying after my 2nd, yes my second fucking Xbox 360 flopped due to the RROD. I got the idea from one of those Myspace bullitens that said something about not sending it to 10 ppl will result in the ghost of a dead girl appearing and raping your cat or somthing.
On my way to exchange my xbox i thought to myself, I bet Bill Gates was waiting for me to leave so he could sneak in and rape my cat.
Thus was born my new phrase whe ppl ask me what I think of the RROD, I say 2 them, "I had it twice, It was just an excuse for BG to rape my cat."
{Dude sitting there playing 360}
{360 goes into Red Ring Of Death Mode}
Dude: Shit! My 360 froze and I got the RROD!
{While dude takes 360 back to store for warranty Bill Gates shows up and rapes his cat.}
{Dude jokes to guy at Gamestop about Bill Gates raping his cat.}
{Gude gets back home and realizes that it did in fact
happen}
Dude: DAMNIT, BILL GATES RAPED MY CAT! OH THE HORROR!
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.
A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
