pretenemy
pl. pretenemies
similar in origin to the word frenemies, a pretenemy is a complex relationship in which one (or both) parties pretend to hate eachother either due to social standards or for monetary gain.
rachel: hey amy isn’t that that chick you hate?
amy: oh no, she’s just my pretenemy.
pretenemies act as if they dislike each other, when really, that isn’t the case. it can be ambiguous, at times, as to just how fict-tious the mutual dislike is or isn’t.
pretenemy is a portmanteau of “pretend” and “enemy.”
contrast with frenemy (friend and enemy), in which case there is definitely a genuine measure of emnity. both frenemies and pretenemies, however, are friends on some level.

i’m pretty sure david and myself are pretenemies. we argue a lot but there is no real anger or disagreement, and we consider it entertaining. at least, i do…
example 2:

“‘no, he has no pretenemies. everyone actually hates him.'”
david: “but you don’t know quinn has no pretenemies for a fact.”
me: “it doesn’t matter, it’s urban dictionary. it’s an example.”
david: “then it’s a dictionary, it has to be accurate.”
me: “this is why we’re pretenemies.”
