Industrial friend
Someone you met at work and have to regard as a friend - but it stops there. You have to like them, you can’t avoid it. However outside of work they are complete fucking tools who you wouldn’t piss on if they were in fire. Cretins at the best of times, industrial friends are bellends you want to punch in the eye to remind them that actually, you do not like them under any circumstances.
Oh yeah Brett, he’s an industrial friend. He’s a fucking cock wombles but he’s my manager and pay the wages but I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire. Actually I would piss on him just for a laugh!
