Get the setmug. This term, commonly used by college-age students, is someone you share a house with (or, less commonly, an apartment).
These people were, to my knowledge, formerly known as "roommates," in virtually all contexts.
Housemate seems to be merely one of the many trendy terms being tossed around these days.
Here are possible reasons for this word's existence:
A) Perhaps it's supposed to have less of the negative stigma that the word "roommate" seems to carry with it.
B) Also possible is that roommate implies a closer relationship/friendship than simply housemate.

John, Dave, and Bill were looking for another housemate to share in the rent.
That guy across the hall, he's my housemate.

Get the ldmug. A teen mother is a female (between the ages of 13 and 19) who has a child.
If she became pregnant by accident because of unprotected sex...well, that sucks. This is why there needs to be better sex education in this country, and parents need to have "the talk" with their kids.
If she had it intentionally...well, then this is a girl who has taken her youth and prematurely flushed it down the toilet. This is an example of yet another worthless person, and God knows we don't need more of them in this country.
Girls this young (even if they think they are) are really not ready to have children. The maturity and responsibility is just not there yet. In addition, there is usually a lack of financial resources (money).
For those that may argue that "Well, my grandparents decided to have children at 18, etc..."
Uhm, if you haven't noticed, society is a lot different now. Look around.

"She had a kid? Wow. Too bad for her"
"Yeah, it was her idea to get pregnant!"
"At 18???"
"Yeah"
"Wow. Well, too bad for her. She is a teen mother."

Get the O-Townmug. One of the MOST ANNOYING messages you will come across on the social networking community Myspace.
What it means is that that particular user has chosen to make the pictures in their photo page only available to friends, or sometimes nobody at all.

These people may have a myriad of reasons to justify hiding their photos, which include:
Shyness (rather stupid, since you put yourself on the web in the first place - why not show all?)
To repel pervs - understandable, since there are certainly a lot out there. Not all hot 19 year-old chicks on myspace want some icky 40-year old fat guy masturbating to their photos.
To prevent "fakes" - for some strange reason, certain losers love to steal people's pictures, and make a fake profile using those pictures. The motives for this are lost on me. Maybe these losers get off on how many views their fake profile gets??
To prevent picture theft and editing - again, people sometimes steal the pictures, and then photoshop them in various ways. I don't understand why.
And the final reason - just to be annoying.

Teenage boy 1: "Hey, I just found some really cute girl on myspace"

You should be looking for a wedding ring or an engagement ring. Though lack of a ring doesn't mean they're single, at least there might be some hope for you.
