Doppelminger

A similar looking although considerably less attractive person who is included in activities in order to make their counterpart look better by comparison.

Doppelganger + minger = Doppelminger.

The doppelminger is often unaware of their status as doppelminger, or sometimes uses the relationship for their own advantages (for example, becoming cool by association)
Yeah but only because she's got her doppelminger with her.

Doppler shit

The annoying situation of trying to shit in a public lavatory which suddenly becomes busy with people. Effort is made to shit as quietly as possible but failure to do so leads to a loud embarassing splash which is clearly heard by all. So named after the "Doppler effect", whereby a moving object emanating sound, changes pitch as it's distance to the subject listening increases/decreases.
(1) Man(upon rejoining his wife): Honey, I'm so embarassed - do you think they're all looking at me 'cos they know it was me that Doppler shitted?

(2) Hey, I think that's the guy that laid that Doppler shit we heard earlier. Noisy fucker couldn't control it - shoulda put down some paper first.

doppelgänger

It's the guy to blame when the Fed's come knocking on your door.

A body double or look-alike.

A vision of one's self out of the corner of your eye.

I heard her say, "Now that's one good looking doppelgänger."

In folklore it's a harbinger of back luck:

a) When you see your own doppelgänger, it's an omen of death.

b) When you see a relative's or friend's doppelgänger it could mean illness or bad luck for him/her.
German origin: 2 words a)Doppel- double b)Gänger- walk or walker
Zooey Deschanel's doppelgänger would be Katy Perry or vise versa.
True story:
In a dream or vision Abraham Lincoln looked in a mirror and saw two reflections of himself. One paler then the other.
