(Anonymous) 2015-02-08 02:42 am (UTC)(link)I don't think friendship is a lightweight concept. You can say there's no word for it, but every best-friend-relationship is unique and different from other people's best-friend-relationship. You can't really "know what a best friend is" as you say, because "best friends" is not some specific uniform neatly-categorized type of relationship with clearly defined limits and parameters that is the same for everyone, and which your relationship is somehow higher and better than. Friendships probably have the greatest variety and flexibility of any kind of personal relationship - they encompass the whole array of emotionally significant relationships that are not family or romantic.
There probably should be more specific terms for different types of friendships, but even if best friends is unsatisfyingly non-specific, that term does encompass the highest and most meaningful possible non-family/non-romantic relationships.
