HelpRe: Friend
in reply to a message by I like old names
This is getting into "just toss out any random word and decide it's a name" territory.
"Friend" is how old-fashioned Quakers addressed each other. As a first name it is bizarrely impersonal, like Sir or Lady.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
