It's the friend zone of friendships. Unlike friend-zoning, which is when someone you want to be your lover says you should just be friends. Acquaintance zoning is when someone who you want to be friends with doesn't even want to be your friend. This can be way more degrading than friend-zoning, usually because being friend-zoned most of the time is because a person knows you more as a friend than a lover. But an Acquaintance Zone is when a person doesn't even want to get to know you and develop a relationship as friends, which can be way more degrading than rejecting a romantic relationship.
"Hey dude! What's up?"
"Could you stop messaging me, please? We are just acquaintances."
"So you just Acquaintance Zoned me?"

Dulles Detention Zone (noun):
A soulless, fluorescent-lit purgatory where hope goes to die, tucked in the ass-end of an airport, reserved for the poor bastards flying commuter jets. A liminal space of broken spirits, where passengers—having paid top dollar—are herded like livestock into overcrowded, makeshift waiting pens with no amenities, no dignity, and no god. Delays stretch into eternity, announcements are cryptic riddles, and the only certainty is that you are not leaving anytime soon. See also: air travel purgatory, despair terminal, capitalist cattle stall
