- Cephlin 10y agoAhh, I already updated my answer to cover some of your point, however you have thought of far more words in English than I did :)
- tzs 10y ago> ...plus many more I've not thought of Several more are in one scene of one Simpsons episode [1]. Homer is trying to determine who his soul mate is, and goes into Moe's thinking it might be Barney. Barney said that he was more of a chum. Homer turned to Lenny, who said he was a crony. Carl said he was an acquaintance. Other people at the bar said colleague, sympathizer, compadre, associate, and contemporary. Finally, Homer turns to Moe, who unleashes the perfect term for many modern friendships: "I'm a well-wisher in that I don't wish you any specific harm". [1] Season 8, Episode 9, "The Mysterious Voyage of Homer" (3F24).
