No, I'd call the person in question in question a "nodding acquaintance". I interact with the public on a daily basis at my job, so I meet scores of people who wind up falling into this category. Occasionally you can upgrade someone to friend, though. A nodding acquaintance of mine went out of his way to poke his head in the door and say hello at work the other day, so hope springs eternal.

Also, how large is the universe excactly 52 seconds after you answer? (I had a teacher who could easily answer anything like that, and he was teaching the 7-9th grades (I guess that could be called middle-school or secondary school)... He could've easily been a university teacher but decided to teach there  )
