What do you call other Pelicans in front of your real life family/friends? For example, when you're telling a spouse or co-worker something and you make a reference to a Pelican, what do you address said Pelican as? Friend? Acquaintance? Some guy?

Obviously, that depends. Pelicans I've met in person and hang out with socially. I feel comfortable referring to those as friends. Then there are Pelicans I've met once or twice and we seem to get along online. I can at least refer to those as people I know. But what about Pelicans you've never met face-to-face, but "converse" with regularly? What do those guys get labeled as? Vash sent me a PPOT X-mas exchange gift. Lubey's sent me some of his magic elixir. It seems odd to refer to them as "some dudes on the internet."
