friendometer

A very rough scale, usually used in jest, to establish how close you are with a given individual. The friendometer is divided into two sections, acquaintances and friends, which have more specific categories within them: ACQUAINTANCES Weak Acquaintance - someone you know by name, and will say hello to Strong Acquaintance - same as above, may have brief conversation. Friends-of-friends and friends-by-association usually fall into this category FRIENDS Weak friend - can have brief, meaningful conversation with, but see rarely. Some friends-by-association can be this. Friend - the average, you can hang out with this person and have normal, graceful conversation. Good friend - someone who you chill with a lot and have meaningful conversation Close friend - someone who you always want to hang out with and can tell almost anything to Best friend - someone who you would sacrifice a lot for, who you admire and love deeply, and to whom you can tell anything about your life; usually you have 5 or 6 best friends in the whole world, including family members
