      “Floor Show” is not ultra-common vocab but it means the lineup of acts and entertainment at a club.

      Even not knowing that, native speakers would see there is a pun going on via the more common idiomatic phrase “[the] greatest show in town” - historically often used by travelling circuses etc to advertise themselves.

        smoker’s houses can be so bad. if you’re cleaning one out you have to use extra PPE because skin contact with the ultra concentrated tar can fucking kill you.

          They need to be gutted to the studs and the HVAC needs to be replaced. We had a smokers house near us where they concluded demolition was a cheaper option.
