sweatshopped

When you purchase an item of clothing or footwear from a retailer that you had always previously trusted to provide a minimum standard of quality but when you get home, a detail - such as a button, a buckle or a zip comes off in your hand before you’ve even had a chance to wear it.
A - Hey, aren’t you going to wear those new boots you got today?
B - Oh man, I’ve been sweatshopped. I’ve tried to do them up and the zip came off in my hand.

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!

Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.
