Friends-in-Law 

Those friends you HAVE to be friends with out of respect for someone you actually do like (especially your spouse). You see them at parties you don’t want to go to, you invite them to your parties and they don't bring anything, they friend request you, they ask you personal questions, they tell eveyone you are really good friends, you secretly hope they get a new job out of the country.

"So-and-so, or one of my friends-in-law, just showed up. After he gave me the half empy bag of chips he brought to share he asked me how our bankruptcy was going. Don't tell him personal sh*t and don't invite him anywhere ever again."

Friends Zone 

The point at which you can no longer date a girl. She has told you too many secrets, or you took too long to make your move.

You are now in the friends zone, and there is no return.

Guy - Hey girl, I've been thinking, we've been getting along pretty good now and I want to take you out on a date, I really like you.

Girl - Awwww I think you're a really nice, sensitive, understanding guy, but I love you like a friend. So, just friends?

Guy - (thinks) Damn I'm in the friends zone.
