Roommate

A word for someone you snog, marry and have five children with, but only as a very drawn-out joke within an obviously platonic relationship.

Who's that woman? Just my roommate. Nothing to see here.

roommate

The person who shares the same Spotify account as you, often leading to shared playlists, musical disagreements, and the occasional cringe-worthy song choice.

roommate chicken

The condition where a group of people sharing a living space each avoid doing a household chore for an extended period because each believes it's someone else's responsibility. The idea is that eventually the situation will reach a critical mass where the guilty party will cave in and do the chore. In practice, the situation can escalate to extreme levels.

"I'm not going to do the dishes. It's your turn." "Yeah, but 90% of them are from the dinner you made for your girlfriend. I'm not cleaning up your mess." "I'm not playing roommate chicken with you on this. Clean it up!" "I'll die before I clean your mess." "Fuck you!" "Fuck you!"

roommate roulette

Signing up for shared housing sight unseen, especially in a college or university setting. You may be assigned a roomate from hell or you may get someone pretty sweet. Many feel the risk is too high so they seek alternative housing sources. Term derived from the game Russian Roulette where a bullet is placed in the chamber of a revolver and placed up to ones head. You may luck out, but most dont think its worth the risk.

"Fuck that shit, last time I got assigned a roomate, he was an anal-retentive dork who played Halo all day and cock-blocked left and right. I ain't going to play roommate roulette this year, I am going to money up and get a studio."
