The Laura Effect 

Date her and you’ll love her but when you break up you’ll love her but hate her at the same time.
She’s beautiful and the best you’ll ever get!
Guy: she broke up with me... *is upset*
You: that’s the Laura effect for you

The Lara Effect 

A phrase that encapsulates the expectancy of an individual "one-upping" you after a statement. This involves the systematic and conscious practice of making one's associates feel inferior and thereby gaining the status of being "one-up" on them.
Person A: Have you ever double booked?
Person B (aka "The Lara Effect"): Yeah I have triple booked... lunch, happy hour, and dinner.

Lara Croft Effect 

When playing a computer game and despite pressing all the right buttons, your character does something wrong or completely random. Typical of the Lara Croft games, even on all platforms.
Dude: Hey man you just died! You were supposed to jump over the gap! Why did you dive into it?

Non-dude: Hey man! Don't get at me! That's the Lara Croft Effect!

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!
