eggshelling 

Shortened word for "walking on eggshells".
New neighbors moved in upstairs a month ago. I could hear rapid and heavy footsteps (footstomps?), loud chatter, and laughter. Each night, between 2am and 4:30am, loud voracious sex every day upstairs. They did not know how thin the floor is between me and them, so they did not hold back. One day, I put my Ninja coffee maker on the "Clean" cycle. Storm clouds roll in halfway through my clean cycle as my upstairs neighbor says "Of fuck" x 20 "Oh yeah" x 20. As I'm pulling food out of the fridge, I involuntarily hear her have the most quaking orgasm I've ever heard--like Barbarianna's call to Thor from Kung Fury (Kung Fury 2's coming out btw). I may or may not set the food down and pulled my phone out to recordit.

Two minutes later, while I'm holding my phone with the Voice Recorder app up to the ceiling, my Ninja coffee maker gives me the beep to end all beeps, literally as loud as a smoke detector, telling me how very clean my coffee maker is. If you live in an apartment complex, you've probably heard smoke detectors in other people's apartments. I mouth "Oh shit", and I run to the coffee maker and shut it off. (I probably skipped the "Flush cycle" doing this)

Now, I think they know I'm down here, and we have been eggshelling ever since. The footsteps are infrequent. I don't hear them have sex anymore. I did hear her giggle quietly while writing this though. That made me feel better, knowing they're still happy.

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!
