'requify' is a term unique to software development. The essence of requification comes into play when you have code written that has already stricken a balance between being both readable and terse, and yet you decide, for some reason, to make it even harder to read by both repeating yourself and being overly verbose.

e.g.

Without requification:
```
def reconcile_data(type:)

# do stuff with data based on its type
end
```
With requification:
```
def reconcile_data_for_this_specific_type

# do stuff with data based on its type
end

def reconcile_data_for_that_specific_type_which_is_this

# do stuff with data based on its type
end

def reconcile_all_the_data_for_different_types_than_the_first_and_second_specific_type

# ^ this is the most optimal level you can hope to achieve via requification
end
```

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!
