An older term you may still hear is "pal" or "best buddy." In British slang, they have used "bestie." You may also see the term BFF (best friend forever). Sometimes, "homie" or "homeboy" is used in urban slang, referring to a friend who comes from your neighborhood. (In Yiddish slang, this is also used-- "Landsman" carries the meaning of someone you are familiar with, because they are from the old country or from your ethnic group.)
