execusplain 

Very similar to mansplaining where an executive delivers a completely inaccurate description of a topic, with complete confidence that he or she's right. The big problem with execusplaining is that the executive is delivering the nonsense to subordinates, they are loath to disagree for fear of getting fired.
Even though most of his team had already worked at high-tech startups, the VP felt the need to execusplain how startups build products.

Execsplain

When an executive authoritatively explains basic concepts to non-executives to mask the absence of proficiency in their job. Often delivered in a condescending way, so as to provoke an emotional response, thereby shifting blame to the audience, further obfuscating their lack of qualifications.
Did you hear the CMO execsplain Github to those engineers? I wonder if they have any work to do?

Excuseplaination 

An explanation which is simultaneously being used as an alibi, which although it is valid was not necessary to say as an explanation for any reason other than as an excuse.
"That's a crappy excuseplaination bro."

Excusplanation

When you're asking someone for an explanation but all they ever give you is excuses.
Boyfriend : look, can we please just talk about what happened later?

Girlfriend: Yes, and I can't wait to hear your excusplanation about it.

Boyfriend : what's wrong? Why are you mad? What did I do wrong?
Girlfriend : everything! Please explain this <insert whatever made you mad here> to me!
Boyfriend: it wasn't me! I didn't do it! I don't know how it happened! I would never do that! I wouldn't lie! Please believe me even though I can't explain anything ever at anytime nor do I have to because I'm innocent!

Girlfriend: of course, i should have known. More empty excusplanations.

A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.

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!
