as a friend

Used to to draw the line in a relationship, most commonly between men and women. When said by a man, means "you're not attractive enough for me." Can also mean the same when said by a woman, but there's the more devious "you are not manly enough for me," which is to say "wishy washy."

Mike, you're a really cool guy, but I only like you as a friend.

"That" Friend

The friend in every group of friends who no one really knows why "that" friend is there. "That" friend is usually the butt of every joke, prank, or the one who follows every request made by someone in the group of friends. Also, the "that" in "that" friend usually has a different tone than the rest of the words.

Rick: Hey, where is your friend?
James: Which friend?
Rick: Charlie.
James: Oh, "that" friend. We sent him out to go bring us some drinks.
