I have a friend who says he's a Buddhist. What does it mean to be a Buddhist?

A Buddhist is someone who practices the teachings of Buddha. Buddhism teaches that there is no soul or self, and that everything in life is impermanent. It also teaches that we should not cling to anything, including our own desires and attachments. The goal of Buddhism is to attain enlightenment, which means being free from suffering and achieving nirvana.
