The term refers to the boyfriend of a seemingly competent friend who has begun dedicating most of her time and
energy to a
guy who seems incapable of functioning on his own without excessive assistance,
support and reassurance from her.
- Why did Jennifer leave the party so early? I feel like I haven't seen her in ages.
- She told me her boyfriend expressed that he didn't feel comfortable around
people he hasn't known his entire life by throwing a beer bottle through Jan's parents
car window so she was taking him home.
- I feel bad for her, it's like she's adopted a
retarded baby.
