Someone who is more than a friend but is not technically your bestfriend.

A heterosexual friend of a homosexual. Adapted from the term "Friends of Dorothy". While a heterosexual cannot (by definition) be a "Friend", they can of course be a confidante to someone who is a "Friend". There is, however, a distinction to be made vs. "friend of a friend", so you have to listen for the capital F.

- the state of being occupied by friends and social activities in a short time frame
- to show/emphasize the abudant number of friends one may have

A common phrase used by YouTubers McNasty and Soup
"A JPEG of an Indian guy and nothing else"

Friending is another word for friend, commonly used by the YouTuber Soup. It is mostly used with a heavy indian accent.

A friend is someone you love and who loves you, someone you respect and who respects you, someone whom you trust and who trusts you. A friend is honest and makes you want to be honest, too. A friend is loyal.

A friend is someone who is happy to spend time with you doing absolutely nothing at all; someone who doesn't mind driving you on stupid errands, who will get up at midnight just because you want to go on an adventure, and who doesn’t have to talk to communicate with you.

A friend is someone who not only doesn't care if you're ugly or boring, but doesn't even think about it; someone who forgives you no matter what you do, and someone who tries to help you even when they don't know how. A friend is someone who tells you if you're being stupid, but who doesn't make you feel stupid.

A friend is someone who would sacrifice their life and happiness for you. A friend is someone who will come with you when you have to do boring things like watch bad recitals, go to stuffy parties, or wait in boring lobbies. You don't even think about who's talking or who's listening in a conversation with a friend.

A friend is someone for whom you're willing to change your opinions. A friend is someone you look forward to seeing and who looks forward to seeing you: someone you like so much, it doesn't matter if you share interests or traits. A friend is someone you like so much, you start to like the things they like.

A friend is a partner, not a leader or a follower.

Friends are people that get along with another person. They can only be the friends if they have differences that set them apart and have the odd argument. If you don't argue and them being around seems awkward, they are probably a fake friend, maybe pretending to be your friend for an audience, for fame, for your time and money or simply because they like you but is afraid to ask to be your friend.
They stand up for you against anything, because they are loyal and love you, and you should do the same back.

Friends will help out and will never talk badly about you behind your back or betray you in any way.
