acquaintancezone

Where you relegate people whose uninteresting posts clog up your social media feeds because they're in your "friends" circle.

"After about her 20th post this week bragging about her workout routine and the different health shakes she's trying, I had to put her in the acquaintancezone."

Close Acquaintance

A friend of a friend, that you have met, and are on friendly terms with. You do not maintain a friendship with them, but know them. Both parties wish not to do damage to your relation with a close acquaintance, as that damage would reflect on individual relationships with your mutual friend. But due to any number of reasons, such as differences in interests or schedules, you cannot truly become friends with them. Not someone you would seek company of, nor particularly enjoy, but respect and appreciate the bond that they share with your friend.

I know Bob, he's a close acquaintance of mine. Met him at Fred's birthday party. They're both into some nerd stuff that I just can't get, so it's nice that Fred has Bob to bounce that crap off of.

"So I have a friend, well he's more of an acquaintance because the only time I ever hear from him is when he posts 'Happy Birthday!' on Facebook..."
