Someone who shares a bathroom with you, specifically when you have a setup where two dorm rooms are connected by a bathroom. People use this term in residence at Carleton University in Ottawa.
person 1: i got such good canmates this year, we're always hanging out.
person 2: not me. mine is such an asshole, they're always rude to me.
person 3: you guys get your own bathrooms? i have to use the communal one down the hall.
