derogane 

dare-OH-G-in Noun; Adj.

A rare type of fish (very often deep-fried) found in the coastal waters surrounding the island of Australia. The word is derived from the medieval fish, Derodin, which was considered a predator of ancient waters.
Commonly used as a compliment with the implications of being as sly, cunning and wholly awesome as the originators Derek Basedow and Morgane Siddhartha were, for their skill in out-smarting the roaming creature.
"Damn, that Gavin thinks he's the shit, but he doesnt realize that Hunter's got him beat in the game of derogane."

"Kelly thinks shes so cool throwing beer at people, but obviously Mogantly is so much more derogane than her since she doesn't realize no one likes her."

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!
