Refers to either of two equally-unhealthy practices that seemingly "skips a place" in the chain of progression, but has a comparably-negative result --- Person A acts as a financial "crutch" for Person B, allowing Person B to continue his dissipative lifestyle:
(1) Where you do not beg resources directly (i.e., "first generation" enabling) from a financially-solvent person who is sick of your mooching, but you instead ask your "benefactor" to extend charity to your equally "spongy" offspring (i.e., you shamelessly take advantage of the person's "family man" nature by using the pathetically-manipulative "cute cherub-faced kiddos" or "they'll only be young once, so I wanna give them a decent childhood" pressure-excuse), or
(2) You don't request a certain amount of money --- say, twenty bucks --- from the disgruntled "provider" for "excessive/addictive/self-abusive" products (i.e., tobacco, alcohol, lottery tickets, unnecessary "pretty things", etc.) that he refuses to provide you with, but you instead ask him for that same twenty bucks to purchase "basic necessities" like simple groceries or household/repair products that he HAS agreed to help you out with obtaining... the catch, of course, is that you spend your OWN twenty bucks on those other unhealthy/senseless purchases instead of spending it on the healthful basics that your friend is giving you money for, and so in the end you are still getting him to make it possible for you to continue your unwise/unhealthy lifestyle.

Be wary of anyone who agreeably says, "Okay, fine --- I won't ask you for any more money for unhealthy stuff; I'll use my own funds for them. But please do give me some money for those "basic necessities" that you said you WOULD buy for me." Well, don't you see --- that's really the same destructive deal when all's said and done --- oh, sure, the person may indeed not be "directly" asking you to buy him cigarettes, but the person is merely using the last of his **own** money for them, and then asking you for money to buy the groceries that he himself could have purchased if he hadn't spent his last dollar on coffin-nails! It doesn't really matter where your added funds are "injected:" into the person's budget --- it's still just second-generation enabling!

A second piece of bad news which follows shortly after, and changes your understanding of, the first.
"Did you hear that Sarah's brother died?"
"Oh God, that's awful."
"Yep, the family was devo. They thought it was an accident, but turns out it was suicide."
"Damn, what a second plane."

The irritating process in which someone gets offended by something FOR someone else before they get offended, even if they wouldn't actually get offended by it. Most commonly observed on social networking platform: Twitter.
Mei: *name is Mei*
Modern Twitter users: Ur name is Mei? :/ please stop appropriating japanese names. we know ur name is amanda or basic white name
Mei: I'm literally asian help
Me: Do not fret, they are suffering second-hand offense

when someone is using the computer (either while doing stuff with files on his/her desktop or while on myspace) and someone else comes in and tells you to open a bunch of your own stuff just to see what you have/tells you to click on their ex's myspace homepage so they can see what that person is possibly saying about him/her.
1: "hey joe, what are you doing?"
Joe: "usin the computer"
"open that file, now that one, now that one. what's 'my tax payments 97?"
Joe: "stop second hand snooping me, dammit!"
2: "are you on myspace?"
"yeah, why?"
"search (name of ex). I wanna see what he/she said about me"
"no, i'm not gonna second hand snoop for you. Do it yourself."

when a gay male shows affection to a straight male even though he knows he is as straight as a pole.
