Backseat wanker

In essence, calling someone a "backseat wanker" suggests that they are not actively participating or contributing, instead, they are being unhelpful or critical from a position of relative ease or distance, akin to someone sitting idly in the backseat of a car while others do the work of driving. It's a derogatory term used to criticize someone's behaviour or attitude.
Let's say a group of friends is working on a project together, and they're all brainstorming ideas and putting in effort to get the work done. One person, let's call him John, sits back and offers no suggestions, doesn't contribute any work, and just criticizes the ideas and efforts of others without offering any constructive input. John is essentially being a "backseat wanker" in this scenario, as he's not actively participating in the group's efforts but is quick to criticize from the sidelines without offering any meaningful contribution himself.

Backseat Girlfriend

The term "backseat girlfriend" typically refers to a relationship dynamic where one partner is not fully prioritized or is treated as secondary, often being kept at a distance while the other partner engages with someone else or focuses on other aspects of their life. This phrase can imply that the person in the "backseat" role is not actively involved in decision-making or significant events in their partner's life, akin to a passenger rather than a co-pilot.

Cid: "Miss Alexia, what's with the sudden backseat girlfriend behavior?"
