Reed College
A small, liberal-arts college in Oregon, that is meant for kids
"who love learning for learning's sake." Some people will label them as "nerds" today, as they study hard and have no varsity athletics. However, they are the leaders of the future. They are all incredibly intelligent and quirky. They are the leaders of tomorrow. Big jocks who hate academics stay away, for you will never understand what it takes to be a "Reedie."

Reed College
A sanctum sanctorum of overprivileged children who love to talk about how intellectual and hard-working they are because that’s the only pitiable thing they can feel good about themselves. Its professors are mediocre, the most of whom hide behind a defense screen of taciturn professionalism. The city of Portland where it's at also suffers from a racism is deep but repressed and thus passive-aggressive in expression. Reed is also an off-leash area for sad dog-walkers who yearn for that plastic human connection of someone patting their dog and telling them how cute they are.
"Doesn't he know that Reed College is one of the most progressive colleges in the US? That's why we talk about a communist revolution but turn up our noses and call the CSO we so much hate when a homeless dares come wondering onto our campus."

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.

Toe Rag
A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
