Perglish is a social dialect joining the words English and Persian, to describe the new way that many Persian-Canadians are speaking their native language with many English substitute words. Following the Islamic revolution, a wave of Persians emigrated from Iran to English speaking countries such as England, U.S.A and Canada. Perglish, a modern dialect of Farsi (the Persian language), and English has been generated as not all members of the first and second generation immigrant community are able to converse fluently in either English or Farsi, or because one language may have a much simpler word to describe something.
Perglish: Bereem Hangout koneem.
(Let's go hangout)

Let's go to the ketabkhooneh.
(Let's go to the library)

Penglish is a gramatical modification to the language "English". Some examples of these changes are; Penglish: dinner in 2. English: The dinner will be in 2 hours/at 2pm. And; Penglish: How old do you have? English: How old are you? There is no time indication as the speakers don't need it.

What is the purpose of this you might ask? Penglish dates back to 2018 when the founder, Zak Ahmed, started using/teaching penglish to his Youtube audience, while hosting $1000 gaming challenges. And is commonly used in and around communities related to him.

Penglish speakers were once english speakers, that switched over due to the easiness of the language. Penglish speakers find it easy to read English, but find speaking it difficult.
Oh yeah I speak Penglish, event in 8.

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!
