I always thought this was an American term but what is really the definition of a homette as opposed to a unit?
Homette Feminine connotation of the word homie meaning friend, and or companion. In most situations not meant to be taken seriously but only as telling the receiver of the comment the they are the speakers friend. Girl, you's my homette
I recall we used to see the odd dumb American spammer using the term on somersoft a few years ago. Is that what we call a granny flat over there?
Its just a place thats smaller than a house but bigger than a unit. More like a homette than a unit ! - Harris Real Estate see this for example
