How it's used

Originally referring to the act of laying out a mat on the floor to sleep, this term has evolved to describe staying over at someone's house, often in a temporary or informal capacity. It implies sleeping on a makeshift bed, such as a sofa or a mattress on the floor, rather than in a proper guest room. It carries a sense of casualness and is typically used between close friends or family members.

Examples

If you have nowhere to go tonight, why don't you come crash at my place?
He is always crashing at his friends' places, which is really troublesome.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe staying at a hotel or a formal guest room, as it specifically implies the lack of a proper bed. It is also not suitable for formal situations or when staying with someone you do not know well.
