atari st

Computer system from 1980s and early 1990s. Marketed under the tag, "Power without the price", the Atari ST was an extremely good system - and affordable - for its time, but the damp squib that was the STE (like a standard ST but with a blitter chip which no sod used and and extra £50 on the price), followed by the destined-never-to-arrive Falcon (also from Atari) caused interest to lapse. That, and the fact that there was a bit of a lack of decent software for it - it lost huge swathes of market share to PCs.

If you still have nostalgia for this miseworthy computer system, visit www.atari.st.

The Atari ST was always compared to the rival 16-bit system Amiga.

Apparently, ST stood for "Sam Tramiel", the son of Atari owner Jack Tramiel.

Atari has now been brought out by Midway.

- You seen that game called Dragon Ninja on the C64?
- Yes, it's not as good as the "ST" version though!...

Atari Stigmata

Atari Stigmata (singular stigma) is a term used by members of the gaming faithful to describe the marks, sores, or sensations of pain in the hands from squeezing the life out of the non-ergonomic Atari game controller from the early 1980's.

I was playing Pac Man for hours, but I had to quit because of the excessive bleeding caused by my Atari Stigmata.

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!
