Fair Weather Friend – A friend who supports others only when it is easy and convenient to do so: “I thought Gene would always stick by me, but when I got into trouble, he turned out to be a fair-weather friend.” *

hmmm…I never knew I would have to look this up but I just wanted to be sure if I heard correct. Huh?
