As described in Rachael Yamagata's song "Sidedish Friend". A friend who you don't want to always hang out with you, but you want them when you call them. Someone to have as a friend only when it's good for you.
I don't want to hang out with you all the time, okay? You're not my friend, you're just a sidedish friend.

Get the sidedish friend mug.People you are friends with only because you we're forced together for a long period of time. (i.e in a classroom or work space) You find them unreliable, they don't KNOW you, you don't know them even after all this time. You're personalities don't match yet you hang out and can talk with each other. If follows the "Friends you realize you were only friends with because you saw them 5 days a week” mentality.
Jeff talks to 10+ people 5 days a week but he is loney, they are all dead friends that would never be there for him when he needs them.

Get the Dead Friends mug.Two really close good friends that hang out as if they were dating. People around call the two a couple because of they see the two flirt all the time. Yet, both individuals (hopefully both) know that they will never become anything more than merely best friends.

Get the friend couple mug.A friend who you can lose contact with for months, or even years on end, but as soon as you see them again, it's like nothing has ever changed, and there's no awkwardness.
I hadn't seen Tom in years, but as soon as we met for coffee, it was like nothing had changed; he's such a good suspend-a-friend!

Yeah, Mike's my conditional friend. As long as I have an extra girl to throw at him, he'll hang around.
