Opticphobia 

A fictional fear where the patient is horribly afraid of eyes. The sight of eyes makes the patient panic and they will go out of their way to get the eyes out of their sight and may even try to pull them out of the person's sockets. Caused by watching the film, "Miss peregrine's home for peculiar children" From 2016. The fear doesn't seem to go away and the only way to help the patient is to blind them so they don't go into a state of panic at the sight of eyes. Some have tried therapy and gradually exposing themselves to the sight of eyes but we run out of therapists and none seem to want to work with us anymore. So, if you're a therapist consider contacting us. (We are not responsible for loss of eyes)
The fear can develop over several days or in a few minutes, so you can imagine how odd the theaters were after the film was shown. About 68% of people became optophobic after watching the film.
The patient seems to have Opticphobia.

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!
