friend-source 

Crowd-sourcing your friends (online or in the real-world) to solve a problem or answer a question.
I wanted to know where to grab good sushi, so I friend-sourced on Twitter.

friendaround 

The largely questionable practice of gathering personal details about people you don't know (potential coworkers, friends, dates, or whatever) by trolling the social media profiles of known acquaintances.
I met this girl at my buddy's party the other night but all I got was her first name. So, I did a little friendaround through my friend's Facebook page and got her last name, her e-mail, and checked out a few of her pics.

friend list white out 

the act of removing everybody from your friend list, excluding those of Caucasian descent

see: racist
Dennis: That's it, I'm pulling a friend list white out. Can't stand you people anymore.

Shou: Hey, have you been getting any of my messages?
Kaitlyn: Oh, sorry, Shou, I went through a FLWO recently! My bad.

Friend Zone 

A platonic zone females place you in when your affections are unrequited.
In laymen’s terms, you serve as a woman’s gay bff because there aren't enough homosexuals for the entire female population.

Definition from the 'The Friendzone & How to Know if You are in the Friendzone' from A Swaggolina Story
Greg: 'Hey Suzie, want to make love?'
Suzie: 'No, you're decision to wear socks with sandals repulses me. I'm placing you in the Friend Zone until further notice'
