My housemates made plans to be elsewhere the night I told them I had invited some rationalists to dinner. My household clearly needs a different term for people I meet at Less Wrong meetups.
In that sort of context any word other than "friends" would probably get that sort of reaction. Even "internet friends" would work better than a specific label.
I have a friend off another web site who uses "nerd friends from the internet" in this context; she has used it dozens of times and continues to use it. Also: she is a librarian and has lexicography skills well above the mean.
