Sapphire Syndrome 

Based on the show 'Steven Universe' in which the character name 'Sapphire' is a sentient gemstone who can predict the future and its possibilities.

'Sapphire syndrome' is when you can see multiple possibilities and outcomes of your actions when faced with a choice but in fear of making the wrong decision, you hesitate to act and even put your life on hold because you don't want to make the wrong choice. You figuratively freeze up. As the character 'Sapphire' does.

But the irony in this is if you don't act, you already make the wrong choice and let oppertunities and life slip by. Waiting for a specific possibility or certain condition or variables to attain your desired result.

Possible cure: Know your life is happening right now, so act now.

Accept that you are allowed to make mistakes(within reason) and understand that failing is a vital part in succeeding. Mistakes happen and sometimes life doesn't go the way we want it to, we make the wrong choices but we're human. We have to at least try to do the right thing and know that making a mistake doesn't mean it's the end for you. Life goes on.

Sometimes we have to work with what we have now. Life's short so stop waiting for something that might not be meant for you.
Sandy had a choice before her. To go to the Job interview in New York or the job interview in Dallas. Dallas job being closer to home made sense but the New York job had more money in it for her.

She had Sapphire Syndrome deciding the course of action.

Kate wasn't sure if she should marry John. He was nice and financially more stable but she still had feelings for Dylan, who moved away. She was struck with Sapphire syndrome with choosing who to run to.

If Nancy failed her exam, her life plans would be thrown off course. What would she do if she did fail? Sapphire syndrome fixed her to the spot where she stood as her thoughts raced.

A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.

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.

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.
