McSuburbs

The McSuburbs are those new copy-paste towns that are only designed for cars & big business instead of people. McSuburbs don't have public transportation, forcing everyone to drive. They suck to live in, unless you hate talking to people & love sitting in traffic for every errand. Despite being built strictly for cars, they also are miserable to drive in due to heavy traffic & poor planning.

The residential zone is a massive sea of ugly cookie-cutter single-family luxury homes. These neighborhoods are designed for cars-only, eliminating walking or biking.
The shopping zone is strictly built for Big Business. Massive parking-lots, clogged up roads, & all the businesses are corporate, so no mom & pop shops.

McSuburbs also are devoid of any fun night-life or 3rd places for people to just hang out. Kids growing up in these suburbs need their parents to drive them around EVERYWHERE.
McSuburbs have all the negative traits of Urban, Suburban, & Rural living all rolled into one package.

There are plenty of historical suburbs that are actually nice to live in, such as the classic Street-car Suburbs of old America or the suburbs seen in Europe & Japan. But the McSuburbs are a dystopia.

How am I supposed to get a date when I live in the McSuburbs?

American zoning laws have resulted in a new kind of town known as the McSuburbs.

I love visiting the cities in Europe, I hope I can move here someday. But for now I'm stuck in a McSuburb.

Stop building these McSuburbs everywhere! Make cities walkable again.

We Dutch love our 15-minute cities. Keep your McSuburbs out of our country America!

We Americans love our suburbs. I'll take the McSuburbs over your liberal crime cities & 15 minute commie towns any day!

chud run

A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.

"Hey bro you tryna go on a chud run with me??"

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!

Hate Sink

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.

Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.

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.
