(homo amicus stylens) A species of human made nearly extinct by the advent of electronic mail, penpals communicate via the ancient art of Penmanship – the inscription of meaningful symbols on filaments of pulped wood. After their creation, these Letters would be entrusted to government officials for transportation and delivery to their intended recipient – often over great distances.

A girl who gives you her number or adds you on FaceBook, then wants to text or message you all the time and never wants to actually hang out. Sometimes happens when you get a girls number for a booty call and then she wants to text you, but never puts out. The opposite of a Cutty Buddy
