One of the most dangerous jobs in the United States Coast Guard. One must go through extensive training to become a Surfman. One must first qualify for Coxswain and Heavy Weather Coxswain before even attempting to qualify for Surfman.

Surfmen usually man 47-foot life saving boats and are manned at MLS stations for Search and Rescue missions in severe weather and/or sea conditions.
Fisherman #1: "We are so screwed. Our ship is capsized and we're in 30 foot waves!"
Fisherman #2: "Here comes a Coast Guard surfman to save our asses!"

When lives are in danger and the shit hits the fan, who do they call? The surfman!

Surfmastering 

The philosophy of the surfmaster. To outsiders it looks like failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. However the surfmaster lives happily without seeing this - its true that ignorance is bliss, if you are a surfmaster.
Tom is a surfmaster - you can tell by looking at his surfmastering philosophy.

Tom likes to surf and make webpages - he builds them for fun, but without deeper understanding or knowledge. He is a surfmaster.

Word of the Day on July 29, 2026
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!
