Used to "soften the blow" when you're about to be frank with someone about their lesser qualities, or when giving advice they might not want to hear.
"I'm telling you as a friend: If you're going on a date, you should take her out to to a restaurant, because your cooking really stinks."
"I'm telling you as a friend, you really shouldn't be drinking that much! I'm worried about you!"
"I'm telling you as a friend, you really shouldn't be drinking that much! I'm worried about you!"

We all want to have THAT friend. That friend is someone who you would chose over any other of your friends, someone who you cannot imagine your life without, someone who knows all your orders everywhere, the one person you wanna call when you get good news, the person who means so much to you your just scared you'll lose them, but you wont because the will forever and always be your that friend.
Who is your that friend???

Used to draw the "no sex/physical intimacy" boundaries. Generally used for people who have an agreeable personality but no sex appeal. A nice way of saying "I could never get on you."

Person 1: "hey look at this definition of a friend."
Person 2: "yep you really don't have any friends."

Used by someone who opts out of offered intimacy when they don't fancy you.
"I'll go out for a drink with you but as a friend."
