Sysops a little slow tonight? They took two minutes to get this protected...too bad it took the vandals 2 and 1/2 minutes to go back on the Tivo to figure out how to spell Frenemy.

BTW, I'm justing messing with the Sysops, you guys to a good job of protecting Colberisms. ---CWY2190^T^C 04:42, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well Semi-Protect doesn't mean its immune from vandals. MrMacMan 04:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a big Colbert fan, and the last time I jumped into a Wikipedia-related edit over the show, I ended up missing the Wørd. I opted to watch the show instead. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:48, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To Stephen Colbert Frenemy is a friend that is also your enemy. (i.e. China) They make our toys but take are jobs.

I think the Colbert reference is perfectly legitimate. I realize that there are vandals that put up complete nonsense, but if it is taken maturely, I think it's a reasonable thing to add. I did my best with it. There are also other references to frenemy in other pop culture. I've heard it was said in "Sex and the City," for example. There will need to be more research, but these references can be added to the Pop Culture subheading at any time. wesweaver 07:22, 14 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Frenemy of the US - Iran?

I've removed Iran from the list of "frenemies" of the US. They meet the criteria for enemy (competetive, belligerent, hostile) but not for friend (economic/political relationships, good political ties, similar ideology). --Hojimachong^talk 02:01, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frenemy of the US - Israel

While we tout Israel as our ally, there exist attacks upon American targets such as during the Lavon Affair and the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty to indicate their frenemy status. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.102.49.157 (talk) 13:20, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What the hell is this?

I suggest considering this article for deletion. At most the obscure portmanteau "frenemy" should have an entry in Wiktionary, but certainly not in Wikipedia. Plus most of the article is transparently bullshit made up off the top of someone's head. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.213.38 (talk) 17:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I second that. Actually, it violates Wikipedia's policy on neologisms. Recommend replacing article with a rederect to betrayal (betrayer redirects there as well). Ringbang (talk) 20:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I third that! This article has no basis for being in an encyclopedia (wiktionary being a _much_ more appropriate place) 76.116.5.27 (talk) 04:51, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
