Going to a random article on Wikipedia then clicking on a link of a word that vaguely interests you, once there, click on another word that interests you. Rinse and repeat. This is a common method for bored people to pass time.

wiki jumping

When reading an article on Wikipedia, you click a link within the article and jump to a related article. On said related article, you click yet another link to a different article.

Often the article you end up with is not at all related to the original--like playing the game Telephone. This continues until half of your night is wasted.

To spend time wiki jumping:
1: Read article about Anime. Article links to Otaku.
2: Read article about Otaku. Article links to Serial Killers.
3: Read article about Serial Killers. Article links to the UniBomber.
4. Read article about UniBomber. Article links to Iowa.
5. Read article about Iowa. Article links to Corn.
6. Rinse and repeat.

Anime != Corn

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!
