Dystermite

The act of extreme tickling wherein the tickler bends the middle and ring finger down on both hands and secures it with the thumb (leaving the "rock on" fingers remaining tall), and proceeds to jab the victim on both sides of the ribs at once.

A key component of this style of tickling is that it is accompanied by the tickler making a machine-gun type noise with his or her mouth while attacking the ribs in a staccato-fashion with the fingers kept straight.

(caution: It is very rare to receive this style of tickling and remain standing, or walk away after an attack without having peed your pants.)
DIE-ster-mite

"Amy, you better let me have a bite of that ice cream cone, or I'm gonna dystermite you!"

"Watch out, Amber because Dad is in the tickling mood. I just saw him dystermite Andy for five minutes straight."

"Who wants a Dystermite?" - said by tickler in a group of children, usually while jabbing dystermite fingers in the air and making the accompanying dystermite noise.

hysteridemic 

A portmanteau of hysteria and epidemic, this word is for use by those of us who like to believe in the slight possibility that not everything in the world is going to hell. Whenever there is mass hysteria (by either gender) about some topic of concern that's been blown out of proportion, this word can apply.

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!
