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.

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.

It could also be for when you put it down on someone with that dick.

Friend one: So I saw you leave the party with Karen. What happened?

Friend two: let’s just say I went from the FRIEND ZONE to the BONE ZONE.

Girlfriend: Damn daddy you did your thing last night. You was Steph Curry with the cock.

Boyfriend: Yes, I was definitely in the BONE ZONE last night.
