Dead Pixel 

A pixel on an LCD screen that stays a single bright colour irrespective of the surrounding background. Can be at least partly toned out by stroking the relevant area of the screen.
There were a couple of dead pixels on my screen last night.

The Dead Pixel 

‘the dead pixel’ refers to the lasting affect being sexually assaulted has on one’s life and mind. the term derives from the game ‘mouthwashing’ when the character Anya speaks about always noticing a dead pixel in the corner of a certain screen. she mentions that the one pixel is always in the back of her mind and ruins the whole illusion of the immersive screen. this pixel is a metaphor for her being assaulted by a coworker and living in constant paranoia, with the thought she is as wrong and filthy as her assaulter implies she is.
despite my many efforts, i can’t seem to ignore the dead pixel.

Dead pixels

Sometimes a LCD / TFT monitor will have one or more pixels that are not working. These will remain a certain color or be black or white, but won't display colors dinamically like the rest of the screen. There's nothing you can do about them yourself, but normally manufacturers will give you a refund.
The LCD screen has several dead pixels.

Dead Pixels

Dead Pixels (short for Dead Pixels Ghost Club or DPGC) are a collection of pixel-perfect ghost NFTs on the Hedera network, with various fun traits making each one completely unique. These little spirits are here to create some lighthearted ruckus, send good vibes, and support the community.
I thought my Dead Pixels Ghost vanished but then I remembered I left it in another wallet.

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!

Hate Sink 

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.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.
