driveism 

"Driveism" can be understood as a form of discrimination or bias that involves prioritizing one storage drive over others based on arbitrary characteristics, similar to how racism prioritizes one race over others based on arbitrary traits like skin color or ethnicity.

In the context of computing, driveism could occur when an individual or organization prioritizes a certain storage drive over others for reasons that are not related to performance, capacity, or other objective measures. For example, a company might choose to use a certain brand of hard drive because they have a personal connection to the company or brand, rather than choosing the most reliable or cost-effective option.

This kind of driveism can have negative consequences, such as reduced performance, higher costs, or decreased reliability, if it leads to the selection of inferior or less suitable drives. It can also create an unfair advantage for certain companies or products, making it harder for newer or smaller players in the market to compete.

Overall, just as racism is an unjust and discriminatory practice that harms individuals and society, driveism can also be a harmful and unfair practice that can negatively impact the functioning of computer systems and the market for storage drives.
Despite the fact that there were more reliable and cost-effective options available, the IT manager's driveism led them to choose a certain brand of hard drive, causing slower performance and higher costs for the company.

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!
