I would like to argue that the word flatmate should be taken off the politically correct, socially acceptable word list.
What's the deal with this concept anyway? Is flatmate the opposite of bumpy mate or tilted mate or sharp mate or variable mate?
If it's the opposite of bumpy mate are we supposed to use it to distinguish between our male and female colleagues, or what? Where do we draw the line and, actually, aren't all classifications based on rack-size discriminatory and unacceptable?
If it turns out to be the opposite of sharp mate it's even worse. Without the "benefit" of gender-based differences it's simply offensive to everybody.
