once a year friend
A friend who isn’t readily available to you even though you swear you’re tight and refer to them as a bestie. Although you genuinely get along well, you’re still not in their top tier of go-to friends. Realistically, you’re just inbox and text buddies who may happen to hang once a year.
She thinks her once a year friends really give a shit about her, they wouldn’t piss on her if she was on fire.
