On Shore Help 

This phrase, originally used only in the context of telephone customer service, has now gained popularity in any situation that calls for competence beyond what is being offered, or simply used as an obnoxious distraction.
" Jimbo had a limp pecker AGAIN so I asked for a little on shore help."

Police person: "Can I see your license and registration, please?"

LaRon "Only if I can get some onshore help."

Judge: "Please remand the accused to custody."

Jumbo (Jimbo's brother) "Can't a brother get some on shore help here or what?"

onshoring 

The act of relocating a business process or department to a less expensive part of the country. Similar to off-shoring, except that the job doesn't leave the country.
A typical example of onshoring is: tech support jobs being consolidated in Tennessee, where they can pay people half as much as before.

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.
