deja viewing 

The terrible feeling you get when you're half-way through a movie or a program and suddenly remember you've watched it before, and thus realize that your evening is shot, your memory is a sieve, and your whole existence is a waste. A byproduct of too much streaming in too concentrated period of time.
Oh, dude, I was killing it with Steve McQueen and Bullitt and then it hit me I was deja viewing and had just seen it like, a month ago.
My sister is locked in a loop where she keeps deja viewing stuff and then gets all disgusted with how bleak her life is.

Can also be used in Future context: During the Buffy series, there are no less than ten references to the Avengers comic books, and Xander even says "Avengers Assembe" twice. Later, the writer and director would go on to create one of the top-grossing films of all times, The Avengers.

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!
