A word used to define a relationship between friends determining how they are to each other. e.g., friendship.
Mostly used to express the saying "more than friends, less than lovers".
- Used by those who have already fallen in love yet are too scared to be rejected by society in the sense of being closeted because of other's standards including their own families, leading to less communication and the "just friends" phase.

(n.) A situation in which you're friends with a person or a group of people in theory, but they ignore you frequently, barely invite you anywhere, or have a group chat without you.
Bro, did you hear about how Anna cut off her entire friend group recently? Guess she finally got fed up with being platonically cucked.

In between a friendzone and getting along too well, typically seen when two friends are displaying symptoms of a failing relationship and form an intimate bond.
"Ricardo and I have been experiencing platonic tension since the beginning of the semester."
"I can totally feel it. You guys are both in a failing relationship, right?"
"Yeah, we bonded through our pain."

That feeling when their voice does things to your brain.. and you're more turned on by conversation than you would be if the words were tainted by sex.
Person to Person they like to talk to and like: "Y'know, I look forward to the powerful effect of platonic ear sex when I know I'll be talking to you."

a guy that doesn't have a close female/nonbinary friend and therefore has an incel mentality towards these groups
Oh Omar? He's never had a female friend except his gf and doesn't see the value in having non-men as friends. He also has women-hating tendencies.
Yea he's a platonic incel.
