e-freind - A fake friend you talk to through the internet like they're

A fake friend you talk to through the internet like they're not a total weirdo.

Hey, e-freind, why did you send me a picture of a cat wearing a hat?

My e-freind thinks TikTok is a real job.

I asked my e-freind if they wanted to hang out, and they said 'I'll text you when I'm not dead.'
