When a person takes a vacation from a friend. This could be because the other friend is having a mood, life change, etc. Or because that person needs a "break" from the friend.
Julie has been having severe mood swingsever since she broke up with her boyfriend. I'm tired of being targeted, so I'm taking a friendcation.
the state of a relationship wherein the two people are clearly "more than friends" but won't admit or don't know if they are a "couple" or not
I created this word about five years ago by merging the words "friend" and "relationship." There are so many relationships that seem undefinable, and this word suits them well.
Bill and Sara claim that they're not dating, but they spend every waking moment together; so I'm starting to wonder if they are in a friendationship.
Friendlationship(n) is a combination of the words 'friends' and 'relationship', used to describe a somewhat-platonic relationship that contains all the aspects of an actual romantic relationship, without any physical/sexual benefits. Basically, all the sacrifice but none of the gain. Often occurs when both people involved harbor some desire for the other, but neither is willing to take a chance and potentially ruin their friendship.
A friendship with someone who is thousands of miles away, but you talk to more than your actual boyfriend/girlfriend. you have talked so much you know this person better than your own family members. Both people in the frienlationship have agreed that you're perfect for each other and wish that you can somehow make a relationship out of what you already have laid groundwork for.
guy 1: Hey man, whats up with you and that chick from Pennsylvania? You're constantly on the phone with her.
guy 2: i don't know man, we've got ourselves tied up in a frienlationship. I'm thinking about breaking up with the old lady for her.
