Gombeenman 

In Ireland -a 'snake-oil' salesman : a committed 'Yes' man , no matter what the question or his previous views on that subject : a 'know-it-all' who will plausibly convince you of how right he is , while he fumbles in his greasy till , professionally hiding the fact that he knows nothing about the issue in question .
Usually ends up in a political career !
Too many to mention - also too libellous to do so !
" That fella up at the bar , there - he should be able to fix ya up . He's a wee bit of a gombeenman , but sure he's not the worst ... "

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!
