 * I hear friend girl and friend boy fairly often. They refer to a girl or boy who is simply a friend, but not a boyfriend or girlfriend, which are romantic relationships. friend girl and friend boy originated in African American Vernacular English, and are synonymous with chickfriend and guyfriend. —Stephen (Talk) 07:33, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Is it attestable ? Leasnam (talk) 20:52, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * btw, @—Stephen, where is it that you hear this often (city, country, region, etc.), if I may ask ? Leasnam (talk) 20:55, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Never heard of this. I only hear "My girlfriend -- I mean, my friend-that's-a-girl -- told me this shirt looks good on me". Furthermore, in my experience, "guyfriend" is no less ambiguous than "boyfriend". --WikiTiki89 21:06, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I think I found some attestations here and here and here and here. I have been hearing friend girl and friend boy for at least 15 years. I usually hear it on TV court shows (such as Judge Joe Brown). Some of the court shows are filmed in Los Angeles, but the litigants may come from anywhere. —Stephen (Talk) 21:20, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
