Second-Hand Embarrassment

When you cringe while watching people embarrassing/publicly humiliating themselves, especially when they DON'T deserve it. People who suffer from this are generally empaths, or they may suffer from severe social anxiety.

"I tried to tell my friends that Dave couldn't dance, but they forced him to anyway. I got second-hand embarrassment in the worst way while watching him. By the time I pulled him out, his face was the deepest shade of red imaginable, and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he was trying not to cry from embarrassment. We haven't been on speaking terms with those "friends" since that incident."

Moral of the story: Don't force people to do things they're not comfortable with, especially under protest. It may be funny to you, but you've gotta think of other people.

Second String Friend

Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed

I got a call from X the other night. She had an extra ticket to a concert she bought for a friend, but they couldn’t make it so she called me to ask if I wanted to go because I am her Second String Friend.

secondhand watching

When people around you talk so much about a TV-show that you feel you've watched it yourself.

I've never seen any episode of Breaking Bad, but through secondhand watching, I know Walter White, Gus and Gale die.

Scondog

A native of Wisconsin who devotes their life to the Packers, deer hunting, pickup trucks, and country music. Sometimes these creatures can be difficult to spot due to their camouflaged attire, but the cargo shorts and cutoffs are a dead give away. Some claim to be light beer connoisseurs, and many fancy themselves as cheese experts. Rarely seen outside of their small towns or farms.

After a long day of cow milking, the scondog cracked open and put on the packers game.
Upon completion of their pilgrimage to the promised land, Green Bay, the scondogs guzzled an entire case of miller lite before the pregame even started.
