Power of the Curve 

When you give up hope in your Engineering major courses and all you can pray to the power of professors to grant you the gift of a C- in your transcript.
Clover: "Guys I'm failing Water Resources Engineering for the second semester! I can't afford another F, its so sad..!"
Sam & Alex *chanting*: "Believe in the Power of the Curve."

Power Carve

Verb
a type of manual locomotion whereby a person can propel a kick scooter (or similar device), without using their feet (or anything else) to swipe the pavement, all by manipulating his/her weight and cutting the handlebars back and forth (first demonstrated by “The T-Guy” on YouTube)
Dave crushed the longest glide competition on his Razor scooter when he ripped out a power carve at the end, pushing out an ever increasing distance until the judges, out of frustration, asked him to “stop”.

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!
