Joshplaining

Joshplaining /dʒɒʃ-pleɪ-nɪŋ/
verb (used as a gerund or present participle)

Definition:
The act of a person named Josh providing unsolicited, overly detailed, and often exasperated tactical advice, rules commentary, or backseat driving during a multiplayer gaming session.

This phenomenon typically occurs when Josh's frustration levels boil over while playing with a specific trio of individuals—usually named Alex, Aaron, and Matt—who are either completely ignoring his strategy or causing chaotic in-game disasters.
"We would have won that round of Search and Destroy if Aaron didn't trigger a three-minute episode of Joshplaining."

"Alex muted his mic because Josh started Joshplaining the meta mechanics of a game they’ve all been playing for five years."

"Matt threw a flashbang at his own feet, and you could hear the Joshplaining start from a mile away."

When somebody acts like they are smarter than everyone on the planet and proceeds to explain/elaborate simple topics using unnecessarily big words, that of which no one asked for an explanation of to begin with.

People who Jocsplain also have a tendancy of:

-backseat gaming
-watching podcasts
-acting like the wolf of wall street with a $200 robinhood portfolio.
Person: "John you have a small dick."

Jocsplainer: "Well actually the genetics of my ancestors combined with the percentage of testosterone present in my blood cells prove that my penis is larger than the average man."

Person: "Bro you're jocsplaining so hard right now."

Everyone else to the jocsplainer: "Shut the fuck up."

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!
