Potato Syndrome 

A psychological symptom that is most common among Gamers, particularly those who have recently owned a high-end gaming device after an extensive period of time using low-end ones, which are commonly referred to as Potato PCs or laptops. Although their new devices can run high graphics, gamers with Potato Syndrome would experience anxiety and worry that high settings might over-stress their devices and would turn the graphics down.
-Man I just bought a 4090 but I just worry I would destroy it with all those settings.
-Oh you have severe potato syndrome from your mom's laptop, just turn those graphics on don't worry.

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!

Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.
