Umfriends
It just was pointed out to me that the term "umfriend" isn't really in common parlance. I thought everybody knew what that meant!
You know, "umfriend"! The kind of person that, when you introduce them to somebody, you say, "And this is my... um... friend...".
It means you're having a sort of relationship with them but it's not real official, it almost doesn't quite count (or doesn't yet count) as relationship. "Boyfriend" or "girlfriend" wouldn't be appropriate. "Sex partner" is too clinical. "Lover" is too cheesy. What you're left with is "Umfriend".
Have YOU heard the term "umfriend" before? If not, what do YOU call such a relationship?
