Prostalgic
a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the future, typically for a vision of what is likely to happen, typically accompanied with happy personal associations.
As I helped my father learn to use his new phone, I was overcome with prostalgia as I envisioned an older version of myself needing a similar level of care to master the holodeck. These prostalgic feelings almost always catch me in moments with my parents, especially now that I have a child of my own to track these passing years against.

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.
