Default Re: Omission of articles by native speakers

Thank you for your answer on the other thread, Id like to check if Ive grasped the meaning of (can we say THE here?) "generic sense":
For example, somebodys girlfriend is always fighting with his friends, but "he always takes ____friend s side (never ____girlfriend s side)" (without the article)?
