When one friend befriends another through your introduction, soon putting more effort into that person than you do, simultaneously making you seem less desirable and devaluing both your original friendships. This can happen consciously or unconsciously. Notably, one does not tend to ever make any new friends for themselves through the friend poacher.
I used to be close with Guy until I introduced him to Buddy, who started inviting him out all the time; I think Buddy is friend poaching, especially considering I've never met any good friends through him.

Someone who is so special to you that they are differentiated from all of your other friends. A Favorite Friend is similar to A "Best Friend" except you can only have one. There is a special unexplainable bond created between Favorite Friends, simply because you are each other's favorite humans. You know this person will always be there for you and has a significant role in your life.
Everyone has best friends, but it's very rare that someone will find their favorite friend.

A term expressing a platonic relationship between adult males. The original use refers to the mythical king Gilgamesh, and his non-sexual friendship with the character Enkidu.
Montgomedy Sweelard is off traveling with Radrigo on some grand, manly adventure. Joe is a true Friend of Gilgamesh, and thus undoubtedly heterosexual.
A special friend is a relationship, beyond usual terms of being friends, perhaps a sexual relationship.
I am in love with my special friend.

When a couple breaks up, one person gets to keep the mutual friends while the other must find new ones because being around each other would be too awkward. The person who keeps the friends is said to be granted Friend Custody.
Bob: Why don't you come out with us tonight?
Phil: Because when Jane and I broke up, she got Friend Custody.
A friend with whom you hang out with only to better your personal image. An accessory friend is often mean, snotty and disliked by the entire friend group. The only reason the accessory friend is tolerated is because of their above average looks.
Bob: "Nicole, why do you hang out with Barb? I'm pretty sure that my antisocial cat has a better personality than her".
Nicole: "Good question! Barb is just my accessory friend. I only hang out with her because she makes me look good... kind of like these diamond earrings that I'm wearing.
Bob: "Good point. I guess she is kind of hot".
