In contemporary circles, a term that has displaced “testicles” in definition, and one allegedly named for Philadelphia Phillies general manager, Ruben Amaro, with his unwavering ability to pull off repeated, bold trade maneuvers.
amaros: noun \a-mar- ōs\ (1) instruments of a higher mammal species with purposeful reproducibility usually within its enclosing structures. See: testis, balls (slang), wheels (British cockney). (2) extreme fortitude or gutsiness; aggressive, alpha.
—amarocular adj.
First known usage: 21st century. From Spanish: Amaro
See also: camaro- a car with balls.
All he does is pass, pass, pass! Would it kill him to run the ball and control the clock? I swear, Andy Reid's amaros have yet to descend!
Man, being a Philadelphia Eagles fan is a lot like getting blue amaros from an ugly chick down the shore—they get you close, but just can finish you off. And what do you have left? Sore amaros and your friends making fun of you.
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??!!
