And they were roommates 

Originally a line from a Vine.

It now usually refers to straight people ignorantly misinterpreting gay/lesbian situations.

Person1: I saw a picture of Jim and John holding each other lovingly on Facebook, they must be good friends.

Person2: “and they were roommates”

father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate 

Someone whom you have no relation to in genealogy. A joke in the movie Spaceballs

"I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate"
"And that makes us?"
"Absolutely nothing! Which you are about to become!"
(Quote from Spaceballs)

roommate 

What you get when you can't pay all of the rent to stay by yourself. In other words, you get what you pay for. Having peace and quiet is more expensive but well worth it.

Staying with roommates are my least memorable experience in college.

Shitty Roommate

Shitty Roommate

The shitty Roommate is a male/female who brings utter disgrace to the living quarters and should be avoided at all costs. He/she encompass the characteristics and personality traits that fully display their lack of integrity as a citizen of society. Shitty roommates generally:

(1) do not clean their dishes (sometimes no dish cleaning for months)
(2) has a messy room
(3) Do not take out the trash
(4) Do not clean up after themselves.
(5) Makes excuses for his/her irresponsibility and failings
(6) Exaggerate their excuses
(7) Insist that they are extremely busy as an excuse to not be responsible for their mess.

The archetypal shitty roommate will insist that they are Always busy. Yet he/she will stay up countless hours (10+hrs) playing videos games or watching netflix as opposed to spending 20 minutes to clean their horrendous pile of dishes, take out the trash, and/or other responsibilities. At the end of the day the shitty roommate is an irresponsible humiliation to society.

Shitty Roommate: “Dude, I just got Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic! I’m gonna be playin that shit all night, cuz I’m a nerd! LOL”

Responsible Roommate: “Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that it is actually hazardous to your health to not clean your dishes.”

Shitty Roommate: “Dude, I’m busy. I don’t have time to do the dishes.”

Responsible Roommate: “Oh is that so? Well, I just wanted to bring it up because the dishes haven’t been done in a month.”

Shitty Roommate: “Stop trippin! I’m freakin busy dude! I got 3 papers to write.”

Responsible Roommate: “Are you really that busy, man? Two days ago you stayed up playing Mass Effect for 10 hours. Yesterday you watched Netflix all night. With all due respect, I think it’s only reasonable that you to take a simple 20 minutes of your life to clean your dishes.”

Shitty Roommate: “Dude when you have to write 5 papers then you’ll know what’s it’s like to be busy.”

Responsible Roommate: “First you told me you had to write 3 papers. Now you’re saying you have to write 5 papers? Ya know, I’m a full time college student too, and I also work practically full time. I wrote 2 papers this week in between working 35 hours for the week. The bottom line is that you’re a shitty roommate. Be a Jedi knight and do those dishes!”

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."
