A friend of the opposite gender, with whom you have no sexual tension or chemistry. Deinfed in the footnotes of Douglas Coupland's book Generation X. A nonsexual friendship with a member of the opposite sex. Douglas Coupland later admitted to being gay.

Natalie and Scott sat on the couch, watching a movie in his dimly lit basement.
Although they were both straight, and not signifigantly unattractive people, their relationship was completely nonsexual.
Natalie: You're my favorite Platonic Shadow, M'dear.
Scott: You made that term up, didn't you?
N: It's from a book by Douglas Coupland.
S: I don't care, I'm trying to watch this shitty movie.
N: Sorry.

platonic cuck

To be overshadowed by your best-friend's other friends in friend-level.

"anyways, do you know that feeling when your best friend has better best friends, so you have that feeling of perpetual loneliness even though you have plenty of people to talk to?"
"You're such a platonic cuck."
