second-handed

When you weren’t invited directly by the host of an event, but got in through someone else’s invite. Often feels like a social snub if you know the host and expected them to ask you personally.

“I didn’t get the invite from Sarah — I was second-handed through Tom.”

“Don’t second-hand me, just ask me yourself.”

Second Lead Syndrome

Second Lead Syndrome is when the main character of a show/book is in a love triangle and the main character is leaning towards the primary lead/ the first love interest but the audience is rooting for the second lead/ the second love interest to end up with the main character.

Me: “Ugh, I really want belly to end up with Conrad, they have YEARNED for each other !!”

Friend: “Oh wow, you’ve got second lead syndrome bad”

second-class citizen

Persons who can only have limited durations of screen time (e.g. 1~3 hours per day) whilst seeing surrounding people having unlimited screen time allotment

I felt like a second-class citizen when my friends were binge-watching shows all day, and I was stuck with just a couple of hours on the weekend!

second-hand driver

This is who you are when you drive a trailer pulled by using a host car

As a second-hand driver, I had to really focus while backing the trailer into the campsite—it's all about teamwork with the host car!

Second Monitor Treatment

When a game or show is interesting enough for the your second monitor (focus) but not enough for your main monitor (focus)

That movie should be given second monitor treatment whilst I scroll insta reels.
