Shiteknight
A shiteknight is a person with low self-esteem who combats this with an unwavering need to aid others in maintaining the delusion that they were born in the wrong body. They usually have very isolated personal lives as they are very judgmental of others, surrounding themselves only with those who feed their need to center men in gender-critical activism. Most commonly sighted in older men in regards to transgender identifying males.
Chronic shiteknighting often occurs in correlation with chronic self-esteem problems where the person needs to maintain a high view of themselves through self-righteous acts of pseudo-kindness. These people surround themselves with men and women still suffering from unresolved delusions of gender as a means to harvest praise and adulation for speaking over and denigrating women who question their tactics.
Shiteknighting is also associated with metastasized misogyny, homophobia, racism, and ableism as a shield against cognitive dissonance induced by requests from peers to examine one's behavior for bias.

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.
