Frengermy 

Derived from the album of Danish band Mew entitled 'Frengers'. A portmanteau of 'friend' and 'stranger', meaning a person who is "not quite a friend but not quite a stranger". The origin of the word remains with the band.

Frengermy (singular) or frengermies (plural) is an extrapolation of the aforementioned word which adds the word 'enemy' to the portmanteau meaning: 'not quite a friend, not quite a stranger and quite possibly also an enemy'.

The word is used to evoke a certain level of ambivalence and confusion arising from fleeting and underdeveloped relationships usually brought on by fast-paced contemporary inner city living and stunted communication brought about digital mediation (such as the internet and text messaging) manifested most frequently in social networking websites.
Yeah, I've known her about 3 months. I'm not too sure about her. I think she's a frengermy.

We've been frengermies for a couple of months now. It could go any way.

Watch out for that lot, they're frengermies.

Always roots for you to do good but just not better than them. Normally stemmed from some jealousy to any or all aspects of your life. ( similar to a hater but get along with them)

The type of "friend" whose words or actions bring you down.(whether you realize it as intentional or not) The type of friend you ought to cut off but don't cuz...they're nice... good ...you've had good times with them. U know...they're good people that you can count on to bring you down again sometime in the near future.The friend you may or may not have cornered about their quicksand like ways and keep around because "its in the past"...and so was one minute ago. The person that will continue to bring you down until you demand better for yourself.
When you ask yourself is that person my friend or enemy...they are your frenemy. Straighten em out or leave them.Don't put up with it.

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
