my enemy's enemy is my friend

a phrase taken out of The United States foreign policy, but meaning here:

as long as I have a common enemy with a given person, I can be friends with that person; I'll take the risk that this friend of mine might betray me later.
Jason: James my man, why the heck are you friends with Robert? didn't he convince you and Alison to break up and the took Alison's virginity anyways?

James: Listen, my enemy's enemy is my friend. What I mean is, Alison and I were already having relationship issue before Robert became a regular at the bar where she then worked. Not only that but Robert and I have a common enemy, whose name is Carl. Robert hates Carl cuz Carl stole his car. And I hate Robert because he borrowed money from me to pay rent on a stupid storage locker and never bothered paying me back.

Jason: so now the you and Robert want to gang up on Carl?

James: Don't know yet, but Robert and I are friends because we do have a common enemy.

Enemy-exchanger

People who exchange telephone numbers with people they hate, never talk to (and never will), or are enemies with. It makes no logical sense yet there's always one enemy-exchanger in a crowd. If you see one, either:
1. Start yelling at them
2. Beat them up
3. Call your nearest mental help facility
4. Run for your life

STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE FOR THEY ARE MOST LIKELY PSYCHOPATHS.
Can I have your phone number?

No, you Enemy-exchanger!

enemies

Your enemies? Who are they?

You don't have enemies. Nobody has them. Nobody in this entire world deserves to get hurt.

Enemy Brain

The part of your brain which produces negative thoughts, almost like the devil in the devil vs angel trope. Often associated with poor mental health the enemy brain makes you see yourself in the worst light it can.
