Pin a rose on your nose
It certainly predates that sitcom “Full House” (where it was mostly used incorrectly) by several decades. “Pin a rose” refers to rewarding someone for a good deed. To say “pin a rose on your nose” was a sarcastic way of saying you think you deserve an award, but you really don’t. You might say it to a braggart. “Yeah, we’ll pin a rose (award) on you… On your nose!”
Saying sarcastically, “good for you,” or, “well aren’t you special” have similar meanings. It’s like saying, you think you’re so good, but you’re not all that.

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.
