norteamericano 

The literal definition is 'North American', applying to residents of all of the countries of North America. However, typically it's used as a more politically correct way of saying 'from the United States' because in Spanish America does in fact refer to two continents comprising of 35 countries, not just one. Central and South Americans might take exception to the usage of 'americano' because it insinuates that they are not Americans as well.
Gringo: Soy americano.
Tico: No, nosotros somos americanos--usted es norteamericano.

namerican 

Contraction of the term "Native American"

Many people would rather use Indian as it is shorter, but indeed it is more correct to use the above term. Thus, we result in a compromise.
Bob: "Hey, Did you see that new kid at school? I think he's an indian"
Steve: "Nah man, He's a native american."
Bob: "Right, or we could just call him a namerican."

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!
