Oh ! Were just "frenemies"

The word Frenemy was coined by the writer Jessica Mitford in 1977. It refers to a friend with whom one has frequent conflict. The formation of this word is the clipping and blending of the words friend and enemy.
Example ; " Shes my friend but we dont really like to be around eachother, we fight all the time, you could say shes my frenemy."
