Frient 

The safe stage where a client has moved into friend status. But you hope that is temporary because he's crazy hot. You linger here for a bit so that no one gets fired.

I already consider you a Frient. I can't stop thinking about you. Maybe we try this out without telling HR?

frient 

A friend who smokes cannabis; specifically, a friend met on the "trees" subreddit of Reddit.

"Frient" comes from the combination of "friend" and "ent"; "ent" is a term used to refer to members of the trees community on Reddit, originating from the fact that ents are fictional keepers of the trees in Tolkein's "Lord of the Rings" and from the fact that marijuana nuggets often look like miniature trees.

Dude, I toked up with a new frient from r/trees yesterday.

frient with benefits 

A frient with benefits is a friend with whom you enjoy marijuana (friend + ent) and occasionally get partially/fully naked or whatever. Need not include sex.

Dude I'm so stoked to have met Jolie, we had a blast Saturday night getting blazed together, went for a walk in the rain, and then we ended up getting naked at my place. The next morning we had coffee on my porch and she's like "that was really nice, we should do it again soon." I'm so glad to have a frient with benefits!
