"Kyle is so tycanoristic, he always sings the wrong lyrics! And entirely tycanoristically, they're nowhere close to what the song is actually about!"
"I worry about Katie's tycanorism, she thinks most songs are written about moles. It's weird."
"Nate is a total closet tycanorist...but when he gets drunk, he screams out the lyrics he thinks are the right ones, and then we get to make fun of him for a few hours...."

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.
