Houseing

To be mean and sarcastic to someone for no particular reason.

To be in a bad mood for no reason.

From the awesomeness that is House.

Dude, stop Houseing me or I'm going to leave.

He's been Houseing in his room all day, lets cheer him up.

Houseing

Is a slang for raunchy house party dancing, usually to hip-hop or house music.

The way Josh was houseing the fuck out of that random girl I'm surprised he didn't get kicked out of the party.

Sara and Jane got housed pretty hard last night at that hip-hop club.

palmer housing

To walk in a very gingerly and deliberate fashion because of swollen and painful feet or just plain old "bad" feet. Not to be confused with shuffling, this term originated down south in the 1920s-30s-40s. Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor often used this colorful rare word. Origin unknown.

Look at that old man over there palmer housing. His corns must be killing him.

Tract housing

Tract housing (also known as cookie-cutter housing) is a style of housing development in which multiple identical or nearly-identical homes are built to create a community. Tract housing developments may encompass dozens of square miles. Tract housing developments are typically found in North American suburbs that were modeled on the "Levittown" concept.

Tract housing development only makes use of a few designs, and labor costs are reduced because workers only need to learn the skills and movements of constructing a limited variety of home designs. In addition, as all homes in the development will be built at the same time, the cost of purchasing and transporting building supplies may be reduced due to economies of scale. Components such as roof trusses, plumbing trees, and stair systems are often fabricated in factories and installed on site. This allows contractors to reduce prices, which in turn can make homes more affordable (and more accessible to a larger percentage of the population) and may also allow contractors to reap higher profits.
Early tract homes were often identical, but more recently built tract homes no longer look identical from the exterior.

The concept of tract housing is occasionally mocked in American popular culture as the basis of a sterile and dispiriting suburbia. Nonetheless, the use of tract housing in new American suburban developments continues to dominate.

Laura spends her days in her tract housing community with her young son while her husband goes off to work. She leaves only to run trivial errands like buying flour or getting a haircut. On the surface they are living the American Dream; she is nevertheless deeply unhappy.
