H1B'd

People who work in USA on Non-Immigrant Temporary Visa called H1B. They are fully aware that they have to obey to the whims and fancies of their sponsors and be their servant. In no time they realize that they have no identity, voice of their own and loose their dignity and self respect. They patiently wait decades for their Green Card and end up being a voiceless head count for their organization. They will keep paying highest taxes for decades, yet be treated in the lowermost echelon of the immigration priority, easily superseded by illegal immigrants and DACA when it comes to immigration law amendments. They stay back in USA, not visiting their home country India for the fear of not getting Visa stamped from the consulate to get back to USA. Their youth and vigor in their 20s and 30s is wasted waiting for Green Card and when it finally arrives in their 40s they are just a docile family man struggling pillar to post supporting their dependents.

I am going to celebrate my 15 years in the organization, yet have nothing substantial to show. Never took any risks because I was H1B'd

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!

Toe Rag

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.
