Answer 2

I'm kind of surprised you don't have 2 dozens answers yet.

  I might be more surprised that you haven't grasped the concept in what is obviously slang, in our culture, in this era, no offense.

  In a general sense, perhaps ethnic, the word relates to friend, someone from the neighborhood, or circle of friends associated.
