The destructive/oppressive practice of --- when wrongfully refusing a perfectly-reasonable request from someone of less physical/emotional/intellectual/financial means than you possess --- consulting someone else whom you know will be a "yes man" to anything you say (i.e., "pawn") for a confirming/bolstering agreement, thereby invalidly giving the unfortunate favor/easement-requester the false idea that "everyone else feels the same as I do", and thus that he himself must be the one who's being selfish/wimpy/unreasonable to expect something like that, even though both you and your "confederate" know fully well that **you yourself** are the one who's in the wrong by your heartless refusal to allow for the asker's less-than-optimum capabilities.
Asking for a second opawnion is actually a form of gaslighting, since it can cause the unfortunate mercy-seeker to doubt his own sanity in his actually-totally-valid belief that whatever he is requesting is logical/necessary. By your strongly expressing your lying assertion that his request is unreasonable/preposterous --- and yet he himself can see no problem with whatever he is asking for, since he honestly feels the genuine and overwhelming need to have said easement granted him due to his own infirmities/incapabilities --- you may very likely cause him to invalidly think that he does not even know his own needs/self/body properly, which can lead to a permanent damage to his basic perception of reality and self-worth.

Get the Secondary Homies mug.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!
