know it all or nothing episode 1: fren.em.ies

teaching my readers a new word called:

fren.em.ies

definition:

Frenemy can refer to either an enemy disguised as a friend or to a partner that is simultaneously a competitor.

The latter can describe relationships involving:
> People
> Politics and International Relationships
> Commercial Relationships between Companies.

These type of relationships grow more common in times of great change and make for uneasy relations.

In personal relationships, the use of the term 'frenemy' has become increasingly used to describe two (or more) people who are apparently friends but are actually enemies. Such relationships may occur due to the desire (of either) to keep a close eye on the actions of their close rival (i.e. keep your friend close, keep your enemies even closer).

Alternatively, two people who are apparently enemies may actually be friends in private, with the apparently hostile relationship portrayed in order to deceive or for other forms of gain. Such an arrangement may even be used to cover up a secret relationship between the two parties.

so dear readers, friends? enemies? or frenemies?
