The Wingman Technique

The Wingman Technique usually involves (and is best preformed with only one) friend accompanying another to a club or other social setting. If one friend finds a hot girl who is accompanied by an ugly friend (i.e. grenade), it is the sworn job and duty of the accompanying friend (the wingman) to occupy the ugly girl so his friend can get action with the hot girl. The revered duty and purpose of a wingman is to streamline the night for his friend as much as possible, tackling any obstacles and cockblocks.

Suicide wingman 

Another term for "jumping on the grenade" or "taking one for the team".

To be the suicide wingman is to go for the token ugly girl in a group of girls, so that your friends can move in on the more attractive ones.

May strip you of your dignity.
Sorry Joe, I was the Suicide wingman last time. Its your turn.

Accidental Wingman 

When your actions end up helping your bro get the girl he's been going after. However it was never your intention to play the wingman and try to get them together. It just happened to play out that way. Can also happen with a girl accidentally helping her gf get a guy.
Bro: Hey so how did your date with brosky go?
Girl: It wasn't a date, we just hanged out.
Bro: Of course it was a date, he told me all about he was excited and... umm...
Girl: wait, he likes me?
Bro: I mean... so this weather has been crazy recently right?
Girl: Oh wow I can't believe I didn't see it till now. I guess I do kinda like him too.
*Later*
Brosky: Bro I can't believe you told her!
Bro: I didn't know she didn't know man! It was an accident.
Brosky: Well whatever, you were my accidental wingman. So thanks.
Bro: so you two do it yet?
Brosky: We're like rabbits bro!
Bro: nice!

Chicken wingman 

The unsung hero of a bridal party, usually older than a ring bearer and younger than a groomsman, whose responsibility it is to leverage his cuteness to hookup groomsmen with available bridesmaids. If the groomsman lacks the confidence necessary for the mission to succeed, it is also the responsibility of the chicken wingman to call him, "CHICKEN!" and ply him with drinks (and optional celery stalks) until the mission is completed successfully.
Groomsman: "The bride's cousin looks pretty hot in that seasonally appropriate dress that she'll never wear again; but, I don't know if I can talk to her."

Chicken wingman: "Chicken! Do this shot of tequila, munch on these celery stalks, and then we'll go over there, and I'll introduce you."

Groomsman: "Thanks, buddy. You're a great chicken wingman."

Reverse Wingman

When you see a girl you like and you hook up with her without getting a good look at her friend. You proceed to call your wingman over to hook up with her friend. Then you realize you hooked your friend up with the better looking girl. Hence, the reverse wingman.
*after the hook up*
Elliot: "Man I hooked up with a hot chick last night"
K-Dub: "So did I. I appreciate being the wingman with a the better looking chick. I'm always cool with being the reverse wingman."

perverted fantasy wingman 

The person who no matter what you're thinking, they're either thinking it or will understand if you "go there". It does not matter how crazy, dirty, whacky, obtuse, or just flat out weird the thought... you know them well enough to know that they're not going to think you belong in an institution if you say it. It's not mutually exclusive to men or women. It's possible to be a man and have a woman that's you wingman and visa versa.
It took a little while to figure it out, but I realized Steve is my perverted fantasy wingman. He often says outloud the perverted things I'm thinking but I'm embarrassed to say.
