Redshirt boyfriend 

The fella that your girlfriend keeps around in waiting as a back-up to you. Similar to a Sancho, however a redshirt boyfriend may or may not have had relations with your girlfriend while you were dating.

Many times a soon-to-be Ex-boyfriend has met his replacement before realizing his doomed fate.

No one was really surprised that John and Sally broke up. I guess Sally will probably be spending more time with that dude, David. He's been her Redshirt Boyfriend for a while now.

Redshirt 

The person most likely to die first in any TV show, or film, regardless of what colour sweater they're wearing.

Taken from Star Trek the Original Series, where the security guards wore red, one always 'beamed down' from the spaceship to planets on exploratory missions and always died first. Always.
Don't ever wear a red shirt on a space mission!
"Ahhh look at the Redshirt, he's gonna get it first"
"Nahh, the blonde'll die first, they always do in horror movies".
