Take a turn about the room
An amusing term which appears so ubiquitously in various film adaptations of Jane Austin novels that it really should enter the public lexicon as a bit of tounge-in-cheek banter mocking the stilted, formal manner of speech common during the Regency period.
Chick: Dude, this party is great and all, but I've been sitting on this couch so long that my leg is falling asleep.
Dude: Shall we take a turn about the room?"

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.
