professexual 

Someone who has a serious tendency to be attracted to authority figures, particularly people in positions of major power like professors, government officials, people who are called professionals everyday. They start off liking them because of the power those people seem to have and gradually it becomes more about the person and less about the power.

Professual 

A cross between professional and casual. Can be used in the context of fashion, meetings, events and dialogue.
Fashion Women - A skort and some type of blouse is a professual outfit

Fashion Men - Jeans and a Blazer

Meetings - when meeting your colleagues for dinner after work, you need to maintain a level of 'professualism'. You cannot be too casual because you have to work with them, but you don't have to be professional about everything.

Dialogue - when talking to authority or colleagues about a social event that work is hosting, a phrase such as "What are you gonna wear?" is preferable to "What are you going to wear?" In the context of email between colleagues; signing off with "Take it Easy" v.s. "Best regards" or "Later man" v.s. "Sincerely" can be considered 'Professual'

Events - Professual Friday instead of Casual Friday, because no one actually knows what is acceptable on casual Friday's but when it is 'Professual Friday', the individual knows that there has to be an element of professionalism in your outfit.

"Mom... Dad... I have something to tell you.
I didn't know when it started happening, and I wrestled with it for such a long time. I knew I'd be treated as a social outcast, nobody, not even me understands just what it is that I like about them.
I wish I could control it. I wish I was the monster you think I am.

I am...... Profsexual"

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!
