Winter Break Syndrome 

The feeling of disappointment when one's dream that their expectations for a fun and relaxing winter break is shattered by the reality that it is boring as hell.

Symptoms include:
1. Copious amounts of laptop usage
2. Sleeping as much as humanly possible, or superhumanly if one is particularly sloth-like
3. Mass texts to friends to see what they are doing
4. Watching movies with parents only to be asked every 5 minutes "I fell asleep, who is that person?"
5. Family relatives you could ignore at school swarm over you en masse, destroying any privacy you hoped to have
Mass Text: Suffering winter break syndrome, save me...

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.
