Don't hear "house" meaning to destroy something anymore.
Ima house you.
I'm about to house this burrito.
This is in common use in my area with slightly modified context. To "house" something is to envelop and incorporate it, almost always in reference to food. Threatening to house someone would be weird and vaguely sexual, "bro fuckin housed those crispitos" is a normal thing to hear
Interesting, I haven't heard it since the 90s. Do you pronounce it with an s or z? We said s, even though the normal verb form (eg "the governor housed 10000 homeless people with the latest bill") is said with a z for me.
I hear both but say z
