*I don't know what to call them - I dislike this term and the term "friends with benefits" - that term was not popular in my day, and I just used to call them my friends who would sometimes stop by late on weekend nights and I would let in if I was by myself. Kind of a mouthful, but any cute little term sounds stupid.

I would add to his little manifesto that this arrangement can never ever be successfully accomplished with an ex. There's too much baggage.
