An individual that you have met and interacted with on multiple occasions, making them more than an acquaintance but you do not know them well enough to call a friend.
Someone who isn't as close as a friend, yet far up from being an ordinary acquaintance. The word for the grey area of a casual or professional relationship.
Joe: Yeah so you goin' to the corner store with your friends?

Joe: Then what are they? Acquaintances?
Jane: More to me than that, I guess I could call them my.. 'friecquaintances'.
Joe: Say whaaaat?!
