Gravity Check
The term originates from hackey-sack. A gravity check is when an easily playable sack hits the ground only because it was coming down equidistant between two or more players and each player didn't make an attempt because they thought someone else would play it.
The term can also be used in business to describe a situation where nobody on the team works on a task because they think someone else must already be working on it.

Your boss emails the whole team, "Gravity check. Earlier I sent an email to all of you asking that one of you please call the client today. Did any of you actually call the client?"

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.
