DOOMMATE (N.) ‘doom-mayt  A roommate whom you tolerate by necessity, but who is difficult, even dangerous, to live with. Usage: The only sublet Ted could afford was in Inwood, and his roommate was a frightening woman who drank too much tequila and was given to night rages. Still, for $300 a month, it was worth living with a doommate.  At least until his unpaid internship was over. Text © Liesl Schillinger 7/16/2009 Image ©Elizabeth Zechel, 11/28/2011
