friend box

1. A friend box is the cage you are placed into when you really like someone, but they want to be "just friends". When you have an unrequited love then you are in a friend box.

2. You can also use the term to descibe wanting to be "just friends" with someone.

background: the term friend box was extensively used in the web comic "Dog & Cat" by Tom McHenry during February 2006.

1. guy1: "I've been her friend for six years now, every time she needs a shoulder to cry on, or someone to talk to, or a lift home... i'm always there! why won't she love me?"
guy2: "You can never escape the friend box! never!"

2. guy1: "that girl is so into you, doesn't she get annoying?"
guy2: "not any more, she's been friendboxed, and she knows it."
guy1: *shakes head* "you're such a friend boxer"

Lunch box Friends

A Melanie Martinez song signifying friends who stay besties with you for either gossip, bullshit or random ass stuff that doesn’t mean they’re a true friend.

I don’t want no lunch box friends...nooo.

friendboy

A friend who is a boy but deliberately not a boyfriend because you want no emotional attachments or jealousy issues if you feel like kissing other people.

Synonym: (man) friend with benefits
Variation: friendman

Example

-Hey Kate I saw you kissing some boy at a party. I though you had a boyfriend...

-He's not my boyfriend he is my friendboy, therefore we are free to share our love amongst other people providing we don't do it in front of eachother and that we don't get off with each other's friends.

friendboi

When you're too unattractive and fugly to be a fuckboi, so you settle on being friend-zoned forever. Really wants to be a fuckboi, but it's not an option given what God gave you.

Sara: What about that guy Bobson right there? I know he's single and got money.

Jessica: Nah girl, that guy's a friendboi for life. I'm just gonna keep cuddling with my teddy bear at night.
