Clingy Friend

Someone who you used to be friends with (or still are) but won’t leave you alone and won’t let you hang out with anyone else. They probably have nobody else to hang out with and you can’t dump them because you can’t escape them.

Simon: “Bro, Ryan is such a clingy friend!”
Luca: “I know! He’s so annoying!”
Simon: “I wish I was never friends with him.”

situation-friends- with- benefits-ship

A situation where you are friends with benefits where no romantic feelings are reciprocated, only lustful urges and tendencies, therefore making it where you get the good parts of a relationship without all the work, synonymous with a situation-ship but with even less accountability and exclusivity.

Tom: I thought you were in relationship and junk
Chad: It's more of a situation-friends- with- benefits-ship

time and place friend

A time and place friend is a friend that exists only within a specific time frame and at a specific place, and in any other scenario that friendship would not have formed. Usually in the context of traveling abroad or being in a novel situation.

Charlotte and Bob, who were as different as night and day, met in Tokyo by happenstance and became time and place friends.

honorary gay straight friend

A Platonic friend of a member of the opposing gender who, for whatever reason, does not fulfill the function of a boy/girlfriend, but they go back a number of years, they can confide in each other to a limited extent, and there is an expectation that things will not turn romantic/sexual. Similar to the "work wife" or "work husband" (assuming there is no affair). Bartenders, male and female, and a lot of workers with public-facing jobs tend to have many honorary gay straight friends.

"Nikki said she would text Mikey about the shin-dig we were having."

"Why would she text his ass? I thought she was with Craig."

"They're just cool. Mikey is one of her honorary gay straight friends."

can i be your friend?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: I'm just an internet random just as you, so that means no one knows the other and by that we can't trust ourselves... But don't worry, there are many people in the world, may one wants to be your friend.

You: can i be your friend?
internet random: no.
