Someone who's friends with lots of people from different friend groups but isn't necessarily confined to one, typically an ambivert, sometimes the center of attention but also gets left out often, never asks for help, doesn't really know whats going on sometimes, and doesn't really have a best friend in their friend group since everyone has their own best friend in that friend group but copes with that by considering everyone in their friend group their best friend.
friend: Have you seen Myles? He seems pretty off today, he's really quiet today.
another friend: It's alright he's probably texting that other kid. After all he's just the background friend.

Get the background friend mug.
A Henry would be a type of guy thats confident, tall, or even obnoxious at times. He seems like a typical Asian jock on the football team and he'd be the type of person to wear sweat pants in 90-degree weather to just show off his semi medium dick.
friend: See that guy right over there? He's pretty well built.
another friend: Yeah hes in my Spanish class, pretty chill.
friend: Ah, okay so hes a Henry.
