A place where women exploit beta males they consider to be weak, subservient lapdogs at best, or a slave at worst. It used to mean going to the mall to go shopping with a girl for a purse and an outfit she can wear on her date that night, but since nobody goes out anymore it's basically emotional support in the form of a text buddy/pen pal, or financial support via CashApp/Venmo.
It is common for women to deny the friend zone exists because they benefit 100% from the equation and stand to lose something if the guy walks away. Ironically, women shame men for claiming men are not "owed sex" (implying there was a nefarious plot all along and discounting the fact men can slowly grow to fall in love with a woman and are walking away for that reason, not ownership of her body), but also shame them for walking away, missing the irony that they are not "owed friendship". Men can only be virtuous while they stay firmly entrenched in their utility place.
It's worth noting that while women deny it's existence and play dumb, know exactly how to hit a guy below the belt and make their words sting as much as possible.

Some obscure place where you are sent when nobody loves you back. Full of spiders and dangers. Not cool at all.

Karen: Sorry Dan, I dont love you back (sad face) But we can be frie-

Dan: (falling into the dark) Oh well, it seems like I'm falling into the friendzone
