Houses that all appear the same, one after another in the same area. Can also mean Apartments too.
The term was mostly used in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
The term is used frequently in Katherine Mansfield's short story 'How Pearl Button was Kidnapped' written in 1912.
"In London, there are so many House of Boxes"
"Yeah, almost like in Little Whinging where the Dursley's house in Harry Potter is"
A residence soley comprised of the male sex, usually dressed in boxers of questionable cleanliness. Members of the residence often hold worringly biggoted views towards a wide range of issues, especially regarding women, (known by the terms: birdage, pussy, bitches, cum buckets...) When women are encountered in the residence they are either members of environmental health or members' bitches. They are usually utilised for the purposes of cooking, cleaning and sexual gratification. All in all a well rounded establishment. Indeed!
Michael, although an earnest and relatively morally upstanding member of the House of Boxer, knew what he thought of bitches!
