Parapost 

A phrase commonly used to describe an exceedingly long post on a forum, image board, or text based video game.

The term originated on online text based role play communities where it is used to describe a post that is exceedingly long and is a paragraph instead of just a few lines. Paraposters often go into an immense and often ridiculous level of detail writing about their characters words, actions, thoughts, mannerisms, attire, etc. This is often annoying to less hardcore players because paraposters will usually take much longer than an average player to post a response.

I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven "

Paranostalgia 

Grief over the loss of person/place/time period never experienced and (probably) romanticized.
I once came across a photo of some glamorous New Wave kids standing outside a club in 1980s London and I felt an acute sense of paranostalgia.
Sometimes I feel paranostalgic listening to my mom's old 1960s vinyl LPs.

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!
