Heraldry 

The study of the design, display, history, and regulation of coats of arms. Dates back to the 13th century but its precursors have been around for much longer.

Different countries have their own customs regarding heraldry.
Some countries such as England and Canada have heraldic authorities that regulate coats of arms. The United States has one for the military but not for civilians.
People who study heraldry are called heraldists.
Person 1: Nice shield! I see it all over your stuff, what's that all about?
Person 2: I'm interested in heraldry. I designed my own coat of arms and printed it on stickers to use on my belongings.
Person 1: That's cool. Can you help me design one?
Person 2: Sure!

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!
