giving in to the phoenix 

Its basically when a person is dating someone but still likes their old crush/ex.

As for background info, in the book Tiger's Destiny by Colleen Houck, the main female character has to admit that she still loves the older brother even though she's betrothed to the younger brother. She does this while walking on coals in a phoenix's realm deep in the ground while the phoenix was watching, asking difficult personal questions. She gave in to the phoenix when she proffessed her love for the older brother. Unfortunately, he thought she died, but she actually was restored to full health and taken to the phoenix's home on the mountain. That shouldn't happen to you when you give in to the phoenix though.
After the girlfriend had been hanging out with her ex all day and realised she still likes him. She proceeds to flirt-

Girlfriend -"hey, I wanted to let you know... I'm giving in to the phoenix."
Ex-boyfriend -"what does that mean? That's totally random."
girlfriend -"go read tiger's destiny."

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.
