Second String Friend

Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed
I got a call from X the other night. She had an extra ticket to a concert she bought for a friend, but they couldn’t make it so she called me to ask if I wanted to go because I am her Second String Friend.

favorite friend 

Someone who is so special to you that they are differentiated from all of your other friends. A Favorite Friend is similar to A "Best Friend" except you can only have one. There is a special unexplainable bond created between Favorite Friends, simply because you are each other's favorite humans. You know this person will always be there for you and has a significant role in your life.
Everyone has best friends, but it's very rare that someone will find their favorite friend.

Hug Friend 

A hug friend (sometimes referred to as a hug buddy) is similar to a fuck buddy. However, unlike a fuck buddy, the hug friend is only for hugging. You can call him or her any time of the day (similar to a booty call) to request a hug when you are lonely, depressed, or just want a damn hug.

Hug friends may hug while scantily clad or even naked, so long as their contact is strictly of a hug-like nature. Any additional touching of a sexual nature is considered a breach in the hug friend code so that the relationship may no longer be classified as a hug friendship.
"Yesterday I had a really shitty day, so I called up my hug friend, Mike, to request a hug. He came over and gave me a big cuddly bear-hug. Afterwards, I felt so much better."

"Room mate 1: So you went over to Amy's pretty late last night.. Did you guys do it?

Room mate 2: No, we're just hug buddies. She couldn't sleep because she needed a hug, so I went over to give her one."

cross-friend 

The act of getting two of your Facebook friends from unrelated social circles to "friend" one another based on compatibility and/or complimentary facets of their personalities for their mutual benefit/support. Typically accomplished through friend suggestions to both friends for the other, or both friends interacting with your Facebook page and friending one another. Derived from the term, cross-pollinate.
My best friend from college and one of my co-workers would really hit it off. I should cross-friend them.

Accessory Friend 

A friend with whom you hang out with only to better your personal image. An accessory friend is often mean, snotty and disliked by the entire friend group. The only reason the accessory friend is tolerated is because of their above average looks.
Bob: "Nicole, why do you hang out with Barb? I'm pretty sure that my antisocial cat has a better personality than her".

Nicole: "Good question! Barb is just my accessory friend. I only hang out with her because she makes me look good... kind of like these diamond earrings that I'm wearing.

Bob: "Good point. I guess she is kind of hot".
