just a friend

A term a guy uses when he is constantly asked by a girl (girl 1) what he thinks about another girl (girl 2). Instead of sharing with the girl asking the question (girl 1) how he really feels about the girl (girl 2), he uses the term to avoid the (girl 1) drama or a mental breakdown if he, in fact, tells her he actually is attracted to the girl she is asking about (girl 2).

Cyndi: Who is that girl you are talking to online, Rachel?
Brian: Oh well, just a friend!
Brian to David: So, I met this hottie online and we went out on a date yesterday.
David: I know, Cyndi told me her name was Rachel, but whay did you tell Cyndi she was a just a friend.
Brian: Dave, you know how obsessive and crazy Cyndi gets...
