Squinchy

A shortened form of the term "twinny squish". A friend you feel particularly excited about (often though not always nonromantically and nonsexually) due to a significant overlap in your special interests. They may be someone you work on projects with, be your go-to person for talking about specific subjects of interest, or be someone with whom you share important life experiences in common. You might not be besties, but you could probably talk for hours at a time, at least, if they enjoy hanging out with you as much as you enjoy being around them.

"Are you free tonight?"
"No, I'm hanging out with my squinchy tonight. We have plans to grab coffee and discuss public transit systems"
"Are you working on a project together?"
"No, we're just both really into public transit."
