Maybe you have some mutual friends, but you wouldn't really go out and hang out with that person on your own. Someone who you say hi to in the halls at school, or maybe say hello when you see each other in public. In the simplest definition, someone you know well enough to say hi to, but aren't exactly friends with.

 [ "acquaintance" ]

1: 1) Someone who is one click above a total stranger, someone that you just know their name, but nor very well or that close. 2) Typically people that you see at work or at school that you never bother to see outside of those circumstances. 3) Typically your friend's friends that you run in to at a party or going out. 4) Not such a bad thing because at least they're not going to bother you or pressure you asking for favors or money to borrow.

  * e.g.,  ... 1) 94 % of your "friends" on MySpace 91.8 % of your "friends" on Facebook = 100% acquaintance 2) Jenny from you Trignometry class who is ever so helpful but you have excuse for her every weekend because she is fat 3) Larry and John, your cubicle partners at work. You have discussed 2008 Election and NFL Draft with these guys and shared Coca-Cola in the breakroom 9 months ago but fuck these fat fucks. 4) Your cousin Vinny. You never return his call, he comes over to your house only because his parents brings his sorry ass. You hang out with him because you're forced to and he is like a 5th wheel. You can't wait until he is gone and you're smiling at him as you're saying good bye simply because you are happy that he is outta here!

 [ "acquaintance" ]

1: "acquaintance" is such a complicated word. the dictionary says "a person one knows slightly, but not as a close friend"

  * e.g.,  ... Greg and Lilly aren't quite friends, yet they know so much about each other, and have so much in common. They aren't enemies either, even though they fight all the time, and often piss each other off. I guess you'd call them acquaintances.  

 [ "acquaintance" ]

2: that definition does not even begin to explain what an acquaintance is.

 [ "acquaintance" ]

3: and acquaintance can be the example given by the dictionary. it can also be a person that you will not accept friendship from. it can be someone that you know almost everything about, yet you deny friendship of the said person. it can be a friend who you don't see that much, or don't feel close to. to be an "acquaintance" means much more than to not be friends. acquaintance can not really be defined in a few words, its just that type of thing that takes a laid out explanation rather than a definition. an acquaintance can range from anywhere between love and hate, and that doesn't mean it can't be either of the two. it could even be both at the same time.
