You suck the Cigar, unless you live in Mother Russia...
 
The word "house" represents common and nothing of speciality. Thats why when you go to a resturaunt and order the house red or the house white wine, you get some cheap nasty sh!t.
 
never heard it with anything else before, but (don't flame me) the term "house n****r" is a derogatory slang term akin to being an "uncle tom", or a "good n****r". refers to those slaves that served the plantation house as servants, stableboys and what not and got preferential treatment.
though that usually meant that they were the illegitimate child of the plantation owner.
