When two people know each other through a mutual friend but do not have their own exclusive friendship.
Friendship may be facebook official, but one friend wishes that he had never accepted that friend request and is too honorable of a man to block the other.

Amy Kelly added Reggie Coval on facebook. Reggie could not understand this gesture due to the fact that they are only acquaintances. Luckily for Amy, Reggie is such a gentleman that he will not block her.

Get the acquaintance mug.Similar to being friend zoned, only far worse.
While being friend zoned can sometimes produce a friend, being acquaintance zoned produces nothing.

Oh, I knew of Bob in high school, and I had a chance to get to know him a little at the 10 year high school reunion. I really like him. He was my best friends brother's best friend! Too bad we live in different states. Looks like I'm going to have to do some "acquaintance maintenance" to see what comes of this!

Get the Mcquaintance mug.A "secret code" phrase to mean that --- while you are not of alternative orientation yourself --- you are at least "neutral and tolerant" in your views/feelings regarding other-than-straight individuals, and so anyone within earshot knows that he can feel comfy and secure around you, no matter what type of human he identifies himself as.
Jerry Dean Michael (a.k.a., "Elizabeth Carmichael", the infamous proponent of the equally-infamous "Dale" automobile) might have been able to label himself as a "friend of Dorothy" back in the beginning, but after he swindled so many people out of their life savings in their eager bids to acquire one of his non-existent fuel-miser automobiles, he could probably only have claimed to be an "acquaintance of Dorothy", since neither the Kansas girl or anyone else would likely have wanted to be HIS "friend" anymore!
