One who doesn't really hurt themselves just to "Grab Attention" but to draw there attention away from tragedy's that happen to them, some of out parents where killed...others abused us. No..we do not hate ourselves, or wish to kill ourselves. But what we do does express how we feel...and even the word Emo doesn't mean anything, its just a term used to describe people like us...its the same as calling a Mexican Person a wet-back...very hurtful. Most people hate us because they think where freaks, but they dont understand why we do it. Not many people do.
Emo Poser: Dood look at my wrist theres so many scars on them!!
True Emo: Just shut up, you give people like us a bad name.
Random Person: stfu you attention whore!
True Emo:...If he only knew.

The kid who seems average enough at first but if you ever talked to him you'd know he's depressed because people always want to be "emo" and listen to "emo" music now, but this stuff actually means something to him, unlike most people who don't give a shit about the music they are listening to and just want to be popular and fake like most other people, depressed but can' dress like it because then they'll get associated with fake emos, but they're a true emo
True emo: I like "emo" music but so many people pretend to like that now that I don't say anything about it.

A true emo is a girl or guy who feels things times a hundred than most others. They are labeled as sensitive most of the time. They feel everything deeply and a true emo is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. They wear black most of the time, may have a piercing or two l, they are vocal about their feelings and may talk about their feelings publicly. They love music , take pride in their appearance, and a true emo is usually somebody who is pissed off by their own demons, they usually have an above average desire for friendship, though may be too shy so they stay by themselves. True emos are usually very feminine whether it's a girl or guy.

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!
