A shorter way of saying "the people I know in real life".
@the_temptations_fanpage (Internet Friend 1): I love having friends! They're so fun!
@revolutionarysaxplayer (Internet Friend 2): Yeah, totally! But I definitely like my internet friends more than my day mates though... Like you!
@the_temptations_fanpage: Really? Thanks! Same to you!
@revolutionarysaxplayer: No problem :)
