Acquaintance, n. A person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to.

Summary

This quote humorously alludes to the cautious nature of lending. It suggests that an acquaintance is someone we are familiar with, but not necessarily close enough to trust with lending money or valuable resources. While we may feel comfortable borrowing from them, the quote highlights the hesitation we may have in reciprocating the favor. It playfully captures the delicate balance between friendship and financial trust.
