cactus eater
People who eat cactus, particularly in Mexican cuisine, consume nopales (tender cactus pads) or tunas (prickly pear fruit). These are common, healthy foods prepared by removing spines, boiling, or grilling the pads, or eating the sweet fruit raw.
In addition, many desert creatures, including javelinas, tortoises, and birds, feed on cactus pads or fruit for nourishment and hydration.
There are works of art including books, songs and poems using “cactus eater” as a title including “The Cactus Eaters” by Dan White and the album “Cactus Eater” by Desert Tree House. Have never heard it used as derogatory, and I am native, myself. Would be news to me. Hope this helps.

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.

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!
