White Men Can't Jump Theory 

White Men Can't Jump Theory is a tale as old as gravity, due to the evolutionary trait of white people having less joints in their legs, they cannot jump the same height as minorites. Whenever they try and play hoops, it's classified as a hate crime and a medical emergency due to the sure fact their legs will give out after the last slam dunk.
"Hey look, Tyler's gonna dunk that basket!"

"Oh shit, forgot about White Men Can't Jump Theory."

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!
