Modus operandi (plural modi operandi) is a Latin phrase, approximately translated as "method of operation". The term is used to describe someone's habits of working, particularly in the context of business or criminal investigations. In English, it is often shortened to M.O.
The expression is often used in police work when discussing a crime and addressing the methods employed by the perpetrators. It is also used in criminal profiling, where it can help in finding clues to the offender's psychology.[3] It largely consists of examining the actions used by the individual(s) to execute the crime, prevent its detection and/or facilitate escape.[1] A suspect's modus operandi can assist in his identification, apprehension, or repression, and can also be used to determine links between crimes.
In business, modus operandi is used to describe a firm's preferred means of doing business and interacting with other firms.

A flophouse (US English), doss-house or dosshouse (British English) is a place that offers very cheap lodging, generally by providing only minimal services.
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??!!

Are you a victim of circumstance or just a victim of your poor judgement?
Some people have bad luck, dumb luck or no luck at all. Where are you?
Caliper 56-60, M
Best answer:
My life started off as a victim of circumstances. Very much so. Then I started becoming victim of poor judgment, but only to get out of my circumstances, I made the wrong choices. And low self esteem due to circumstances had me believing I could not do any better and I settled for second best because that's all I'd ever known.
I'm still both I try not to make too many poor choices and think things through, but I'll never be where I'm supposed to be in life. Ever.

Question: What Is 'WRT'? What Does WRT Mean?
Answer: "WRT" is "With Respect To". This is internet shorthand for saying "I want to respond to a specific point made earlier in this conversation". WRT is ideal for steering a conversation in the direction you wish to take it.
Example of WRT usage:
•(User 1) Well, the Tea Party doesn't actually have a platform, other than taking shots at the Dems. The job of the Tea Party is to foment rage based on nostalgia and the sense of entitlement that many Americans feel.
•(User 2) That may be so, but WRT the comment about the Federal Reserve Bank: yes, the Bush family does own a part of the Fed.
•(User 1) Oh, really? I didn't realize the Bush family was that rich.
Another example of WRT usage:
•(User 1) WRT digital SLR cameras: I think that it's a good idea to own both an SLR and a pocket camera. Keep the SLR locked in the car, and carry the pocket camera in your jacket.
•(User 2) That's a good suggestion, considering that pocket cameras are only a hundred bucks these days..
"growing up in Texas, it was slim pickins at the record store..."
"Slim pickens" means there isn't much to choose from. From the examply you gave it means that at the record store there weren't very many CD's (or tapes, records,...) to choose from.
the difference between "attracted to" and "attracted by"?
"To" is used for the destination or direction of the attraction; "by" is used for the agent of or reason for the attraction.
I was attracted to her by her personality.
―――
There is a very subtle difference. If you are attracted "to" someone,
you gravitate toward them like bees are attracted to flowers.
If you are attracted "by" someone, you find them attractive but you aren't necessarily pulled toward them.
Imagine a young man walking down a street. A beautiful woman (a stranger to him) is walking toward him. He immediately notices her and watches her as she approaches him and then turns to watch her as she walks by. He then continues on his way. He was attracted "by" the woman. If he had turned and followed her and (perhaps) introduced himself, you could say that he was attracted "to" her.
It's a fine distinction and using one or the other in any similar context probably would be fine but that's the distinction that I make.
