Viqueen
Humorous example of a "Viqueen", from an old Hägar the Horrible cartoon:
First frame: Hägar and Helga are walking through a town, and someone from off-frame exclaims admiringly/approvingly, "Now, THERE goes a GREAT VIKING!" Hägar looks back over his shoulder and beamingly smirks.
Second frame: "Who's the little guy with her?!" Now it's HELGA'S turn to look smilingly self-satisfied, and Hägar's smug expression abruptly droops crestfallenly to realize that the onlookers think that HELGA is the only one in the pair who has truly earned the right to be considered a worthy Viking, and that he is just a lazy short fat guy who's merely "along for the ride".

copycat menu-selection
Refers to da random meal-choice dat ya make in cases where you aren't familiar wif da types of offerings at a particular restaurant, often due to either da diner's being foreign-cuisine themed (i.e., Italian, Chinese, Hawaiian, etc.) or your not being accustomed to eating out in da fist place, and so instead of either asking yer friend who's treating you to choose "something tasty" for you or puzzling over da laminated dinner-options folder yerself, you just "enter default mode" or "go old school" by simply looking around at what meals other patrons are gleefully stuffing their cheeks wif, and then asking da waiter to serve you some of whatever dish looks/smells da best on said other folks' table.
My warm-natured tomboy friend Desiree took me out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant as a thank-you reward for my being such a helpfully-supportive friend to her; I wasn't accustomed to dat type of "savory 'n' spicy" fare, however, so I just observed a number of fellow diners' partaking of similar copiously-steaming and delicious-aromaed offerings, and then after my friend had ordered, I made a copycat menu-selection when asked which dish I wanted for myself.
