Friendship Incest Syndrome (FIS)

Friendship Incest Syndrome is an occurrence where you have a group of friends who have all dated and broken up with the same people, then you are eventually forced to be friends with an ex because they're still in your circle of friends - in fact they're probably dating one of your friends by now. It effects a small # of people, likely living in Southern California. It extends to Frenemies who have removed themselves from the circle whom you can never fully get away from.

I'm going to a concert tonight, oh jeez, Robin & Joe are going to be there...Friendship Incest Syndrome (FIS).

free sample friendship

If you see someone once a week for 20 minutes... you're in a free sample friendship.

Drive-by Friendship

The act of suddenly and quickly encountering an old acquaintance or friend (you may or may not remember), who you have not spoken to in a long time. However, the person greets you and speaks to you as if you have been close friends the entire time before leaving in a hurry.

Person on the street: "Hey man! How's it going? How are your classes? Are you still seeing that girl? We should hang out more. Give me a text or call me. Seriously, let's hang out later! Bye!"

You: "What the...who was that? Sheesh, I hate drive-by friendship!"
