Backup dancer

Backup dancer came up about 2014 when I kept having friends bring these randoms out them. These people tend to not know they are backup dancers. They generally bring nothing to the table, occasionally they have money but 9 times they are just here to make you look good. They are sometimes mistaken for acquaintances but normally you don't know much about they. After a while they graduate from backup dancing to actually friends.

Who'd you come out with ? Some backup dancers!

Those backup dancers over there are throwing shade.

Backup College

Backup College is a well-known school located in Chestnut Hill, MA. It is more commonly known as Boston College.

I got into BC, but I turned it down for Notre Dame.

Student 1: Hey, I need a good safety school in case Notre Dame, Georgetown, Villanova, and Fordham reject me. What's a good one?
Student 2: Have you looked into Backup College in Massachusetts?

Backup

The name of Veronica Mars's dog on the show "Veronica Mars". Is very protective of Veronica, and can attack if Veronica says so, but however if he likes someone (ie. Logan) he doesn't attack.

Me: "I really enjoyed the Pilot episode last night. What was your fave part?"
You: "The bong prank - classic!"
Me: "I liked the bit where Backup attacked Felix Toombs and felix was screaming and dancing like a sissy with Backup on his arm!" *giggles*

Girl: That's so sweet. What particulalrly do you like about me?
