“Hey! Look at them. what a lonely little rat with no Acquaintance .!”
Somebody you say hi to on a daily basis but don’t associate with in depth. Or somebody you might slightly dispise but you still keep on good terms with.
Yea that fool is cool but he is just an acquaintance.
"acquaintance" is such a complicated word. the dictionary says "a person one knows slightly, but not as a close friend"
that definition does not even begin to explain what an acquaintance is.
and acquaintance can be the example given by the dictionary. it can also be a person that you will not accept friendship from. it can be someone that you know almost everything about, yet you deny friendship of the said person. it can be a friend who you don't see that much, or don't feel close to. to be an "acquaintance" means much more than to not be friends. acquaintance can not really be defined in a few words, its just that type of thing that takes a laid out explanation rather than a definition. an acquaintance can range from anywhere between love and hate, and that doesn't mean it can't be either of the two. it could even be both at the same time.
an acquaintance can be many things
and i could go on and on about it, but i feel like i should stop here

"So I have a friend, well he's more of an acquaintance because the only time I ever hear from him is when he posts 'Happy Birthday!' on Facebook..."
