friend surfing 

using a friend (or stranger's) myspace page to check out their attractive or interesting friends, then their friends, and their friends and so on.

I spent most of the afternoon friend surfing on myspace.

friend mining 

The act of searching through someone's FaceBook Friend list, in the hope of finding more people they can add as their friend.

Question: "I just saw Jane looking through your FaceBook, what do you think she was doing?"

Reply: "Probably friend mining again... loser!"

Friend Affair

The situation where:
1. Friend A gets introduced to Friend C by Friend B.
2. Friend A and Friend C get along better with each other than with Friend B (usually Friend B is just unstable and irrational).
3. Friend A and Friend C become best friends, and exclude Friend B completely.

Jan: "Cindy, this is my friend Marsha"

Cindy: "Marsha, I like you better than I like Jan, let's go to the club and meet guys together, don't tell Jan."

Marsha: "OK, we are having a friend affair you know."

Jan: "boo hoo! i am sad"

friend rule 

The rule that you shouldn't get romantically involved with someone a close friend has been romantically involved with, at least without asking first. The reason being that whatever issues exist(ed) in the romantic relationship tend to become issues for the friendship as well.

"Did you hear that Mike is sleeping with Sara?"
"Isn't she your ex? Total violation of the friend rule, man."

Friend-once-removed 

A friend of a friend; one that perhaps you've never met or you aren't well acquainted enough with to call them a proper friend, but your friend is close with.

The 'once' part can be changed depending upon how close this friend is; Your friend's friend's friend's friend would be your friend-thrice-removed.

I was talking with Jen the other day. Turns out my friend-once-removed Darren is in a band that's playing at the club on Friday. Wanna come see them with us?

friend purgatory

A place for people who have requested to friend you on facebook. Instead of confirming or denying friendship you just leave them in friend purgatory.

I got faced by an old highschool buddy but I just left them in friend purgatory until I decide if they are friend worthy and can get into my friend heaven or deny them entry.

Friend-mance

Not quite a romance but more than just friends but without any benefits. Friends that like each other and are flirty but don't do anything about it.

Dude, I know you like her, it's so obvious you two like each other and you're wasting time having a friend-mance, just ask her out!
