pseudo-mexicism

n. pseu-do-mex-i-cism

1. To pretend to be Mexican.
2. To suggest or imply you are of Mexican decent when, in fact, you are not.

From the words pseudo (meaning false or counterfeit; fake) and Mexican (meaning a native or inhabitant of Mexico).
Malinowski is of Jewish and Polish origin, therefore if someone of this name was light skinned with blonde hair, claiming to be Mexican would be pseudo-mexicism.

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!
