This phrase is a reference to the commonly used phrase “Let’s Just Be Friends”, which is primarily used by women towards men. This counter-framing of the dynamic rejects the “LJBF” frame, and instead asserts that you are not interested in a relationship that excludes romance/sex. It is most effective when it is stated, and immediately followed by total silence, sometimes called “ghosting.” If you do not immediately counter their reframing of your relationship and separate from all contact, you are most certainly guaranteed endless pain and agony as you continue to communicate with someone who is using you on their terms. Their motives are attention and validation, and they are exploiting your romantic feelings and desire for them, with no intention of ever reciprocating. Rather than doing the dignified thing and leaving you alone, they are stroking their ego and desperate need for attention at any cost.
“I’m sorry Michael, but I don’t like you like that. I think you’re a great guy and you’ll make someone happy someday. You’re a really good friend, you’re like, probably my BEST friend, so Let’s Just Be Friends.”
“Oh okay, I see what this is. I agree, we have no romantic future then, so Let’s Just Be Strangers.” *blocks, deletes number, never talks to her again*

When two dudes adjacent to each other numb their own hands with the objective of giving themselves a stranger. However, each dude mistakenly grabs each others' penis and proceed to perform the stranger on the other person while believing they are performing said act on themselves, erstwhile they are performing the double stranger on each other.
John and Bob got completely wasted, crashed on the futon next to each other with the intention of performing a stranger. However, they were so fucked up that they ended up performing a double secret stranger.

Tim stayed home to give himself a honey stranger. He got stung by a yellow jacket and his hand is swollen like a bologna log.

When you sit on your own hand so that a cartoon character from work can give you a HJ by moving your arm while your numb hand holds onto your crank.
That bissh just gave Ocho-Rando a 'little miss stranger' to completion behind the dumpster at work and he barely felt it.
