Talk:crashmate

RFV discussion: June–July 2019
"Someone with whom one is in a crash, such as a car accident." I found one likely use in Google Books (referring to military people who crashed in the same aircraft); the only other hit was a scanno for "that was a serious crash, mate!" or some such. Equinox ◑ 19:02, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I would have thought that this would be a pal that someone crashes with. Dude! Tharthan (talk) 19:38, 11 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Or applications that die at the same time because they were sharing the address space, like in Windows 3.x. Equinox ◑ 19:43, 11 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I think it probably does exist. I found two: and . Also I found a couple that seem to be the "can I crash at your place" sense, so it seems that exists too. Mihia (talk) 13:52, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I can understand the military usage and the sense related to the colloquial meaning of "crash", but I can't really picture most people forming strong camaraderie with someone who one crashed into. If it were a person who one was with, they would most likelily be a friend or a family member (or a workmate, which would be the odd one out in this situation). Yes, it could be a simple acquaintance, or even someone that one does not know well if at all in some situations, but the "most latter" one of those is very unlikely to happen and result in someone that one would call a "crashmate".

 * -mate words don't necessarily imply camaraderie: you might hate your cagemate, cellmate, or housemate. Equinox ◑ 00:55, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's true. I just noticed that I used "workmate" in that comment without even thinking about it, even though one might not like one's workmate. This term makes more sense now. Tharthan (talk) 01:35, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
