manbagging

This is the practice of saving men or invitations and postponing them into a future point in time. Girls typically do this because their datebook is full for the moment. Similar to sandbagging in business only with men and dating.

Scarlett asked Maggie, "Are you going out with Chuck this week?" Maggie replied, "No, I'm booked almost every night and I am so tired. I am manbagging him into next week."

backup quarterback

This is a guy that a girl keeps "on the bench" or at an arm's length just in case she breaks up with her boyfriend. He usually is crazy about her, very good looking and very eager "to get into the game". Just like a backup quarterback in football.

Maggie asked Scarlett, "You just broke up with Ted a week ago, who was that hunky guy you were cozy with last night?"
Scarlett replied, "Oh, that's Chuck. I've known him for a while and called him into the game." Maggie exclaimed, "That was quick!" To which Scarlett replied, "Well, honey, you don't win championships or the Super Bowl without a backup quarterback."

holding court

Going out with the intent to entertain and be entertained by a group of admiring friends. Taken from the days of midevil royalty when the king would call his subjects for a big feast.

Maggie: "My phone is ringing off the hook and the texts are pouring in. Since we haven't been out in a week, everyone is desperate to see us."
Scarlett: "Oh, I know, same here."
Maggie: "I can go out Wednesday"
Scarlett: "Okay, it looks like we are holding court on Wednesday. I'll alert the subjects"
