Twitterlight Zone

When a show (such as an awards show) comes on in one timezone and you are forced to relive it over and over in your Twitter timeline until it comes on in your own timezone in which case you barely even want to watch it because you already know how it ends, yet you do watch it only to give your own snarky commentary.

At the MTV Music Awards, when Taylor Swift was interrupted by Kanye West, the Twitter universe lit up. People in the West Coast with East Coast People in their timelines were forced to see rolling tweets about what happened in their timeline for 3 hours prior to actually viewing the awards show.

@Blahchick80: "Oh hell naw, I can't believe Kanye did that sh*t to Taylor Swift!!"
@Teddybearcutie:"What did he do?"
@Blahchick80:"Ain't you watching the MTV awards?"
@Teddybearcutie:"Hell, naw, it's only 8pm here"
@Redgurl85:"If I was Taylor, I woulda kicked his ass!"
@Teddybearcutie "I gotta log off, this is the Twitterlight Zone..."

2 hours later....

@Teddybearcutie:"That Kanye is a real bastard, I would have punched him in the face if he did that to me"
@Redgurl85:"What, you're just now watching that? I swear, you West Coast people are so slooooww."
@Teddybearcutie: "STFU before I punch you in the face."

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!

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.
