Pronunciation: past so she ayt

Pronunciation: re fren emee

Sentence: When Janet met Brad again at the reunion, she realized he had become a refrenemy. He not only hated her hair and her dress style, (She was sure the invitations stated retro 80's look, so as people could recognize each other) but he also was still an older but more judgmental geek. It was when she caught him making out with Sue (she of the Just Sue Me! fame) that she realized he was just "Desparately Seeking Susan" and not really into the fact that she was Madonna's personal assistant! Loser!

Etymology: Re-friend (a person with whom you are re-acquainted) & Enemy (a hostile individual, not in your support group)
