flexceptive 

A portmanteau neologism of "flexible" and "deceptive". Its use is as an abstraction away from deceptive, which in itself is a flexible and tricky word in English. Instead of making the usage of "deceptive" more explicit, it emphasizes the vagueness of the word.

If needing to combine flexibly and deceptively, it becomes "flexceptively".

No relation to the similarly named "flexception".
"Deceptively simple" can mean both more simple than it appears and less simple than it appears; a pretty flexceptive phrase.

All the best double-agents are flexceptive AF.

That series of statutes is so flexceptive it will need a whole new branch of Law and generations of litigators just to understand the true intent, let alone enforce it.

flexception 

Flexception is when one "flexes" appearing or acting bigger than he/she really is, whether it would be financially, physically or mentally. For example, taking a selfie or picture next to a vehicle or property that is not yours. A "Flexception" is doing this (flexing) under certain circumstances such as being on vacation or somewhere at sometime no one can call you out on your bullshit. Example, a vacation in Vegas where you stayed at the holiday inn but posted pics of you checking into the Bellagio.
I really didn't want to take a selfie at the jewelry store with all this jewelry on, but I made a Flexception.

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!
