friendschism

/frɛnd ˈsɪzəm/nounVerified New

Society & Philanthropy

Also in: Freundesschisma (Deutsch) · amicisma (Español) · amischisme (Français)

The formal split of a friend group into two camps that still share the same calendar.

The friendschism follows a disputed event — a wedding snub, a leaked secret — and produces two group chats with overlapping members. Shared friends shuttle between both. The schism is never announced; everyone simply knows which chat they are in.

Etym. — friend + schism — the church-split vocabulary a friend group eventually needs.

Rel. — grouplang

Novelty check: APPROVE
