Froondmate

froond-meyt

-noun
A person that is both ones friend and roommate. This word was first used at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign after undergrads realized that the word roommate did not adequately describe the relationship they had with one another. Individuals can transition from roommates to froondmates (after growing closer) or from friends to froondmates (after moving in to the same room or apartment)

Girl 1 - "Stacey and Cristina are no longer froondmates!"
Girl 2 - "What happened? Stacey couldn't afford the rent?"
Girl 1 - "No, Cristina and Stacey are now smashing - so they're more than friends."
Girl 2 - "I knew they were munchers!"

A person who you would call a "roommate" because they live with you, AND a "friend" because they are actually a good friend of yours.

Used to specify that your roommate is a good friend of yours.

1: "Hey, this is my friend, Jim."
2: "Isn't he your roommate?"
1: "Yes. But if I call him my roommate, you'd not be lead to believe we're good friends, apart from living together."
