Jimmy: "Oh, you've got a new straight guy in your friend group, IMAGINE having tokens lol"
Jasper: "No, Karl isn't a token straight. He's a token't: we judge on personality not on orientation!"

Get the Token mug.(noun) A woman who is routinely brought out for a night on the town by her daughter's group of friends because the daughter considers her mom to be funny, cute and witty (like in a sitcom) where in reality she is none of these things. This mom/daughter relationship is usually classified as 'best buddies.' The token mom often cramps the style of the women as she unofficially serves as a watchdog prohibiting any of the girls to pick up any 'meat.'
The drummer's chances of banging one of the hotties was high, but the token mom had the hots for him so nobody got laid last night.
