Prop keys

A second set of keys that can be left on top of a desk to give the impression that you are in the office (versus on a long lunch or having left early) but just not at your desk. An extra cell phone or --in the case of military personnel--a beret or other headgear--can to be used in a similar fashion.

Boss: "Bill, can't have gone far...his keys are on his desk."
Uncool Coworker: "That's true, unless those are prop keys."

prop friend

someone who is just a prop in someone else’s life for the time being.

a friend who is thrown away when that person no longer needs them.

most of the time these friends have the biggest hearts and souls and would do anything for their friends but are always left with the short end of the stick.

Friend 1: “why don’t i see you with Aly all the time anymore?”
Friend 2: “oh we don’t talk anymore because i was just a prop friend to her. she found a new friend so she only contacts me when she needs something.”

background prop

A person who is invited to a party or other social activity simply as filler, and isn't really liked much by anyone there.

After Danny got into an argument with a friend of the host, she ended it by telling him that nobody wanted him there. He looked around and found no support, and so he left. He knew then that he was invited simply to be a background prop.
