Slang for a person who places someone they are romantically pursued by firmly in the 'friend zone' — offering friendship but declining romantic involvement. The word carries the perspective of the person being rejected and often implies frustration. It has a pronounced internet-culture flavour from the early 2000s onwards.
He complained on the forum about being friendzoned again, which prompted a lengthy debate about expectations.
