friend-dom

the act of dominating a close friend through use of benign psychological warfare so as to achieve an otherwise unlikely, mutually-oriented outcome

Penelope pulled a monster friend-dom by manipulating me into going to Huntington Beach...but it was actually so restorative to my mental health that I'm very glad she did.

Thomas & Friends

Thomas & Friends (formally Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends) is a British television series created by Britt Allcroft, based on The Railway Series books by Wilbert Awdry and his son Christopher. It first premiered in 9th October 1984 in the United Kingdom, and started with the American spin-off series Shining Time Station in the United States.

The series follows the adventures of Thomas, a human-like tank engine, on the North Western Railway where he works with his friends: Gordon, James, Edward, and Percy. Thomas often gets into trouble by jobs best left to bigger and more sensible engines, but never gives up on being a “Really Useful Engine!”.

The cartoon is currently produced by HiT/Mattel Television, having acquired Gullane Entertainment in July 2002.

hallway friend

Someone you know from one of your classes that you get along with, but arent really friends with. You would never hang out with them in public, but you dont mind talking to them in class and waving to them in the hallway when you see them. As shallow as this may sound, we all have at least one hallway friend.

Girl 1: Hey were going to the beach this weekend. Wanna come?

Girl 2: Fer sure.

Girl 1: You can invite your friend Jane if you want.

Girl 2: No way! I only know her because she was in my physics class. Shes just a hallway friend.

Cold Friending

A tactic for meeting new people on social networks, e.g., friending someone you found while perusing a mutual friend’s profile, or following someone on a social network without actually knowing them; cold friending is our generation’s version of cold calling for business.

I was just surfing around cold friending people on Facebook and now I'm going to do a project with a couple of the people I connected with.

just friends

Boy 2: hey are you and Caroline dating?
Boy 1: no, we are just friends...

friend jumping

When you introduce your friend to another friend, they hit it off and now they keep making plans without you, that's friend jumping.

I don't know if I should introduce Mary to Jen. That bitch is prone to friend jumping.
