stay tuned 

To hang on, awaiting more news on a subject.

On old dial-tuned AM radios before there were even preset buttons, it was a non-trivial task to tune into a particular station. So radio news announcers would tell their audience to stay tuned to the station if they were expecting more info on the current story."

Literally: "(crackle) explosions reported at Pearl Harbor naval base in (crackle) Hawaii...stayed tuned for more news..."

Modern: "Chad's about to tell Rachel he's been cheating on her. Stay tuned for the screaming."

Stay Tuned 

A phrase used by TikToker Daniel Larson at the end of his videos. His fans will often comment it under other people's videos to signify that he has liked one of their videos or talked about them.
Hello everyone, this is Daniel Larson. I will currently be going on tour with Grace Vanderwaal next year. And, we will possibly date. Stay tuned.

StayTuned 

The business version of 'we are waiting to see what happens during the next few steps before we make any moves or decisions'.

It is a very descriptive term, in the sense it immediately identifies the user as a douche.
Paul: Could you ask Peter if he could get us tickets to the game tonight.

Marion: Good call, I just sent him a text. StayTuned.

Paul: Fucking hell, forget it.

A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.

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!

Hate Sink 

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.
