The word “friend” is grossly overused in everyday conversation, and can refer to anyone you have a generally agreeable relationship with - from the distant, though affable, acquaintances all the way to those who have seen you at your worst, who know all your dirty little secrets, who have experienced each and every one of your most annoying habits… ( Read more... )
