"Music and Film Association of America". Originally came from an Internet prank stating that the MPAA and RIAA had merged. The prank was playing on their harsh "above the law" lobbying efforts against copyright infringement.

Examples of this "above the law" lobbying efforts include lobbying for the right to hack, trying to require backdoors in computers by law, and their issuing of notices to individuals regarding alleged copyright infringement.

Due to the amount of money and legal force the RIAA and MPAA have, often people will sign self-incriminating agreements to pay a penalty (even if one is innocent). In one case, where a woman decided to instead take it to the courts, the MAFIAA impersonated her daughter's grandmother in order to take her out of school for "counseling".

While originally a prank, the abbreviation MAFIAA is used when describing actions and attitudes by the RIAA and MPAA which seem "above the law".
There's that "way" the Mafia does business, and the RIAA and MPAA do it too. Both of these industries must be involved with the "MAFIAA".

The merge of the MPAA and the RIAA for the betterment of mankind. Keeps things cleaner when separating the cash from recent jobs.
I can't believe they actually merged and named themselves MAFIAA. HAHA. I wonder if it being created on April 1st has anything to do with anything. Nah.

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!
