bootleg friend

(n) A person who you may tell to their face they are your friend or a person who you don't actually like/trust for whatever character flaw. They may be in your friend circle but on a one-on-one basis they are not a friend to you. However you keep them around because for whatever reason it may be, they help you in some way.
Jim: Why do you chill with Eric? I hear he snitched on Kenny. Plus he's kind of a dick to your sister.

Greg: Because he can get me alcohol. He's pretty stupid so he doesn't know I hang with him just to get me drinks. He's just a bootleg friend.

bandaid friend

A short-term friend who helps others feel emotionally better. When they've done all they could (usually with success), they exit the other friends life. This short-term friend is kind, helpful, a good listener, and can make any sad friend feel better. This "bandaid friend" can be mysterious, and may be reluctant to let other friends come close confidants. They're very approachable on the outside, but an introvert on the inside. These bandaid friends mean the best, and have a heavy heart for people, whether it's for the underdog, or just a sad person who needs to talk; meaning they're great with secrets.

Flavor of the Month Friend

It's a person that's kept around for a period of time because they are of some sort of benefit to the person that's pretending to be their new BFF. The type of person that keeps Flavor of the Month Friends is egotistical, always cash strapped, borrows money and never gives you the money back, cannot be trusted with any personal 411 since they will tell it all over town, creeps on the significant others of their friends/flavor of month friends, a fickle fake "friend" who will uses you to benefit themselves and in the end they don't recognize who their true friends are because they just met their "new BFF" 24 hours ago.

Girl 2: I can't believe she ignores her real friends as soon as she finds a new "BFF" .I guess that's now her new "bestest girl"!

Girl 1: I think it's time to drop that girl because she don't recognize her real friends.

Girl 2: Yea, I agree. We're done with that girl!
