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.
No, it's a second-hand cigarette!

When your grandfather abandons your father when he’s a young age leaving him unable to do the things that dads are supposed to teach you and since he never taught your dad he can’t teach you what you’re supposed to know about being a man.
Ryan doesn’t know how to use a hammer because his dad’s dad abandoned his father leaving Ryan suffering from second hand abandonment.

When you get your daily allotment of vitamin D from basking in an iridescent moon glow. Mostly pertaining to those living in overcast places who never get to see the sun...but for some reason always see the moon.
Ultra-white chic: "I don't have to worry about freckles since I tan in second-hand sun!"
Normal chic: "Yeah the 'Elven' look really works for you...how is 'Narnia' these days!"
