Shambrarian 

Someone who knows enough truth about how libraries really work, but not enough to go insane or be qualified as a real librarian.

A portmanteau of Sham and Librarian

Symptoms:

* Holds strong, unwavering opinions about library records, that cannot typically be stated without at least 3 different expletives.
* Drinks like a fish to try to stem the pain from their considerations of the kafka-esque procedures running the library world today.
* For some reason, a guy called Marc is the bane of their lives, especially the one that's eight years old.
* Started doing IT support for librarians is a persistent feature as well.
"Christ, your library system is a piece of shit. Fuck, what kind of fucking MARC code is that?" - "But you're a computer guy, how do you know MARC?" - "Heh, I may know computers, but I'm also a shambrarian"

Shambray 

She is the epitome of elegance and charm. At the same time, you are savage, brutal and a total bad-ass to those who mess with you. You are the kind of girl everybody wants to have and at the same time terrified to mess with.

You have a facade that is enigmatic that lures everyone to you like a magnet does. But you are a hard catch!
Everyone either love shambray Or hate on her... Either way shes Bomb!

shambrae 

Shambrae is a creative, yet angered type of woman. She tends to dye her brighter colors in order to stand out. She is the kind of person who will threaten to kill you but not back it up.

She typically hates anyone who does not believe in the same shit she does (ex: Mormons, people who dress like her, ect).
Also when you ask her where she got an item of clothing from, she will tell you a fake store/location, followed by saying "It was the last one."
Me: Hey Shambrae! Where'd you get that shirt?
Shambrae: Boniqua's Boutique. It was the last one.

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!
