Acquaintance Zone

It's the friend zone of friendships. Unlike friend-zoning, which is when someone you want to be your lover says you should just be friends. Acquaintance zoning is when someone who you want to be friends with doesn't even want to be your friend. This can be way more degrading than friend-zoning, usually because being friend-zoned most of the time is because a person knows you more as a friend than a lover. But an Acquaintance Zone is when a person doesn't even want to get to know you and develop a relationship as friends, which can be way more degrading than rejecting a romantic relationship.

"Hey dude! What's up?"

"Could you stop messaging me, please? We are just acquaintances."

"So you just Acquaintance Zoned me?"

Polite Acquaintance Zone

The proper place to consider an ex-lover after a bad break up. Should not be confused with the friend zone.

After she got over her anger about our break up, Nancy wanted to remain friends. But I think it's a better idea to keep her in my polite acquaintance zone.

Cool Guy Acquaintance

A person that you're not really friends with but you're cool enough to go up to them and shake their hand and say "Sup, bro".

Roxy: Ya I'm not actually friends with Keith were just Cool Guy Acquaintances.

post-acquaintance friend request

The friend request sent right after meeting someone for the first time.

After meeting Ryan at the party, Dave sent him a post-acquaintance friend request to secure their friendship.

Glorified Acquaintance

An individual you used to be friends with, but have since then fallen out with, resulting in a stranger that you know really well.

Since my best friend, Jane, stabbed me in the back, we've become glorified acquaintances.

The Acquaintance

When you masturbate with your non dominant hand for the second time in one day.

Towards the end of a full day of flapping to snuf videos I attempted to finish with the stranger before realizing I had already used this move around noon which qualified my final round as the acquaintance.
