A language spoken in the Southern French region of France. 🇫🇷 It is a Romance language that actually isn’t related to French at all, but apparently has more in common with the Catalan language of Northeastern Spain, coincidentally.

Gascon, a dialect of Occitan spoken in Gascony, Southwest France, is often considered its own distinct language. And the majority of people in that region long ago once considered themselves Basques and likely once spoke dialects of Basque and Aquitanian, but were eventually replaced with Latin following Romanization.
I am a Cajun from Louisiana USA and admire the Occitan culture and people. In fact, one of the instruments used in Cajun music; the hurdy-gurdy, is considered Southern French in origin and may have originated among the Occitan people. The Occitans call their region of France: Occitania.

Occitania 

State-less nation comprising most of the south of France, some Italian valleys and a small county in Spain. Its language is a group of dialects, including Provençal, of what was once THE European language, the "lenga d'òc". Another dialect of this language broke away in the Middle Ages and became what is now called Catalan, a language currently trying to gain official status in the European Union, much to the dismay of the French government and other idiots.
Occitania has been oppressed by France to the degree that not many people actually know anything about it. Except about some of its cities, like Nice, Bordeaux or Toulouse, and that it has great weather and great beaches.

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!
