emo-lectual 

A specific variety of intellectual; one whose intellectual pursuits (often the reading of modern philosophers) has left them cynical, overly serious, and had a negative impact on their ability to have fun and socialize.

Most emo-lectuals (believing that they "get life" better than others) openly look down on people that are less intelligent or not as well versed in their particular field of interest (ie a particular art-style or said modern philosopher), making it difficult even for other intellectuals to enjoy their company and vice versa.
Intellectual: "What's that you're reading?"
Emo-lectual: "The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, have you read it?"
Intellectual: "No I'm not familiar with it"
Emo-lectual rolls his eyes with a melodramatic sigh and goes back to reading his book, deliberately ignoring Intellectual.

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!
