workplace acquaintance

When working at a large organization with many divisions or departments, it may be necessary to differentiate between the extent of your working relationship with people in your organization. Co-workers would be those who work in your workgroup or department, or those whom you have a close working relationship with in another workgroup or department. Workplace acquaintances are people you know of but don't have a close working relationship with. These individuals are typically in other departments or divisions of the company.

In office fraternization situations, workplace acquaintances can be considered (although weakly so) the exception to the "I don't date co-workers" rule. The argument being that because he or she is not considered a co-worker (defined in the preceding paragraph), that person can be considered dating material because, even though you both work in the same company, you both work in a different division or department.
Rob: I am thinking of asking Trish from Accounting out to dinner and a movie.

Jon: Cool, she's hot! But you said you don't date co-workers.

Rob: She's in a different department, so that doesn't make her a co-worker, just a workplace acquaintance.

male acquaintance

Mainly said by females and is the more polite term for a fuck buddy or a friend with benefits, useful for when in company where you cannot describe the person as a fuck buddy but need to make sure that everyone is aware that you're not going out with him.
Girl 1: "So what's with you and Tom?"

Girl 2: "Nothing he's just a male acquaintance."

Girl 1: "So you're sleeping with him?"

Girl 2: "Yeah pretty much."

acquaintance

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.
