Professional Friends

Two days back, I came across a new term: Professional Friends. Since then I am wondering about it's precise meaning. I mean either you could be friends or have a steely cold professional relation. How these two got merged is beyond me. Well, this new term shattered my long held beliefs.
I think it means that you got to pretend to be friends, have good time under the garb of friendship and then at the precise right moment blurt out 'Hey, we are just colleagues. Professional Friends.' and steer clear.
So far it sounds like a very beneficial term if used judiciously. I have had the first taste of it. I think I should keep it handy. Seemingly, if used properly, it can bear great results.
Hats off to the person who came up with this fantastic idea. So knavish, yet so subtle.

Use this term and rest assured, the other person wouldn't be able to say a word. He will just stare at you open mouthed in complete awe.
Long live Prefessional Friendship. Or should it be Short Live???
