interesting phrase

[waider]

Just learned this one from a Spanish friend: "amigos con derecho a roce" - literally, friends with the right to touch. It's a category of friend which is more than just a friend but less than a partner; as she put it, "you still do "just friends" stuff, too".

And no, this is not being applied reflexively, before you ask.

Yeah. I'm hearing the phrase "friends with benefits" around here.

Ah, she was asking what the equivalent english phrase was, and I didn't have anything to offer.

Anotheer similar, though not identical, term is "fuckbuddy".

Thank you for sharing this rather vulgar American term which I'd actively avoided since it overshoots the mark entirely (all puns and visual imagery fully intended)
