A person with a shore, summer, or beach house near the South Jersey Coast, whose permanent residence is elsewhere - typically Southeastern PA, though not always. They think they are locals, but they only know how to get to the beach or Wawa from their "shore" house, and know little else about the area. They also tend to put lOCal stickers, or the like, on their vehicles, which is quite comical for the locals when the car has PA tags.

Derived from shoobie and may or may not be used as a derogatory term, just as shoobie.
-"I'm a local, live on 1st Street."
-"That's funny, I've never seen you around."
-"Well, I live in West Chester in the winter."
-"Oh, what you mean is that you're a shlocal."

-"Dude, your car has PA tags!?!"
-"Yeah, that's where one of my houses is."
-"So why do you have a lOCal sticker on there? You're actually a shlocal."

A shlocal is a person of localness combined with a shoobie. They typically go to school in PA, but spend their entire summers in a small beach town. Usually they are pretty wealth and live on the main line. They make trips down to the beach all throughout the year, almost every weekend. They are not to be confused with the actual shoobies who may RENT every summer. Shlocals frown upon shoobies. They also are not locals. They do not live down year round, and therefore the true locals find it okay to hate on shlocals but they really shouldn't, because hey, they are part local to!!
Local; Ugh I hate shoobies
Shlocal; SAME!!
Local: You are a shoobie tho...
Shlocal: nah brah I'm a shlocal I'm down all summer, and most weekends in the fall, winter, and spring.

Local; ahh okay your chill then
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!
