second-best

It means inferior, next best, next to best, nothing special, second-rate.
Not as good as the best. Not exactly what you want, not perfect.
I'm sorry if I made you feel second-best.
A second-best solution.

Second Screen

Any device with a screen other than that of a television set.

Origin: The Television was the first, widely adapted technological advancement that allowed users to ignore human interaction by offering visual and audible stimulation. Secondary devices such as computers, handhelds and cellphones have become a means of distraction in this new technological age and are constantly evolving to offer more time wasting and socially hermitting features.
If you don't get off the internet now, I will lock up the power cords and batteries to all the second screens in the house. That means-No Computer, No Ipod, No Cellphone, No gameboy, No portable dvd player, No PSP, No graphing calculator, not even allowed to have your e-reader.

Second Birthday

If someone says they have a second birthday, they may be referring to the day they should’ve died, but didn’t.
Person one: “Why is Janet saying she’s celebrating her second birthday today?”

Person two: “A year ago today she survived an overdose. It’s her second birthday because she should have died according to the doctors.”
