It's the friend zone of friendships. Unlike friend-zoning, which is when someone you want to be your lover says you should just be friends. Acquaintance zoning is when someone who you want to be friends with doesn't even want to be your friend. This can be way more degrading than friend-zoning, usually because being friend-zoned most of the time is because a person knows you more as a friend than a lover. But an Acquaintance Zone is when a person doesn't even want to get to know you and develop a relationship as friends, which can be way more degrading than rejecting a romantic relationship.
"Hey dude! What's up?"
"Could you stop messaging me, please? We are just acquaintances."
"So you just Acquaintance Zoned me?"

Get the Acquaintance mug.A person you slightly know about, but they aren’t your closest best friend or a stranger you know absolutely nothing about.
For example, you may know the old man at the grocery store you go to often is named Bob and he shows up the same days as you, and you guys say hello to each other time to time, but you guys aren’t best friends or strangers. That would be an example of an acquaintance.
