What does the acronym FWB stand for?

• A. Friends with benefits
• B. Friends with boundaries
• C. Fornication with buddies
• D. Female with buddies

Answer: (A)

The term being tested is understanding common dating slang. FWB stands for “Friends with Benefits”—a casual arrangement where two friends have sexual activity without pursuing a romantic relationship or exclusive commitment. This label captures both the friendship and the sexual aspect while signaling there’s no intention of romance. The other options aren’t standard slang for this concept: “Friends with boundaries” isn’t a widely used term for a casual sexual setup; “Fornication with buddies” uses an outdated word and isn’t a typical modern label; “Female with buddies” is vague and not a recognizable relationship term. In practice, if you hear FWB, it points to a casual, non-romantic sexual relationship between friends.
