Best friend

A best friend is someone you can trust with anything who cares deeply for you and wouldn't let anyone hurt you or be by your side when someone does they will not leave you when you are going through a tough time and they know when something is wrong with you even when you are trying your best to hide it. They are often the voice of reason when you are being a dick and they are very honest with you unless they know not to be and hold back there opinion for your sake. They are often crazy and the only person you can be a total and utter freak with and be comfortable about it. They are your substitute soul mate.

Best friend: hey, how are you

Me: I'm great I couldn't be better
Best friend: no, there's something wrong with you don't try and hide it.
Me: OMG how can you tell

Friend Poaching

When one friend befriends another through your introduction, soon putting more effort into that person than you do, simultaneously making you seem less desirable and devaluing both your original friendships. This can happen consciously or unconsciously. Notably, one does not tend to ever make any new friends for themselves through the friend poacher.

I used to be close with Guy until I introduced him to Buddy, who started inviting him out all the time; I think Buddy is friend poaching, especially considering I've never met any good friends through him.

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.
