Bro-zone

The next step up from friend zone.. this is not a zone you want to be in my friend. This is when you’ve messed up too much to go back to being a friend, but she’s choosing to keep you around out of convenience. You are.. bro-zoned

Dude texts you “how are you feeling” just to follow it up with a “so your roommate is out of town this weekend 👀?”… wow. Your bro-zoned bitch.

academic zone

When someone you're talking to doesn't want to be friends, just academic acquaintances. This is a downgrade from the friendzone.

Person 1: Hey, is Sally going to be joining us on our beach trip?
Person 2: No, she said she'd rather just do homework with me instead.
Person 2 is in the academic zone.

Friend Zone

the space/pause between boy friend and girl friend is the friend "zone"; classifying you only as a friend that is a guy or a friend that is a girl, nothing more.

Friend 1 : omg you and Bob act like y'all dating
Friend 2: NAHHHHHH, he's just my boy_friend.
Friend 1: ouch you friend zoned him

Professional Zoned

When having met someone in a professional setting and they remain strictly professional, refusing any chance of even a friendship developing.

Josh: who was that you just said hello to?
Adam: a girl from work.

Josh: she’s cute, you gonna go for it?
Adam: Can’t. She professional zoned me. Wants to only talk about work and nothing else.
