| Oct 31, 2013 at 8:51 | comment | added | B. Szonye | Strange, I've never heard it used that way, and clearly neither have the other folks commenting. Didn't see anything in the other dictionaries I checked either. Dictionary.com might be in error here. | |

Straighten logic of question.

| Oct 31, 2013 at 4:20 | comment | added | Jim | Yes, housemate is the term you want. | |
| Oct 31, 2013 at 4:13 | comment | added | B. Szonye | Housemates are quite common around here. I don't infer any particular relationship from that, beyond living together. Why do you think it has that connotation? | |
