insignificant other

Someone you are casually dating, while seeing others on the side. This person is almost always someone you would never consider dating exclusively, but, you keep around as a backup plan for free Saturday nights.

Maria: Oo, the new guy in Calculus is cute!

Virginia: Wait, I thought you and James were dating?

Maria: No, no, we're just insignificant others.

Insignificant Other

If your SO is annoying, ungrateful, and overall an useless person, you call them your Insignificant Other.

"My boyfriend does not do any chores. He is my Insignificant Other."
"Shut up Carla, I only said I won't wash your undergarments"
