The person in a group of people (usually two, though sometimes more) who is most often left out of things.
The third wheel is usually there for one of two reasons - to act as a mediator, such as with a couple, or to be the "convenience friend" when nobody else is there to hang.
Third wheels are not normally forcefully excluded from activities, but they're not usually invited or informed about them either.
Not to be confused with being third-wheeled.

Get the Digital Third Wheelmug. Depending on the situation there's tons of ways to define what a third wheel is! A third wheel typically is person that tags along with two others, usually they are ignored or unwanted. This also can be defined as a person that serves no purpose or has no use in a situation.
She keeps tagging along on our adventures. She's just a third wheel.
We're doing all the work, why does she get to sit around and be a third wheel?

Get the Third wheelmug. If you are searching this up, you are definitely third wheeling or you're around 8-10 and someone told u to third wheel (or someone told u ur third wheeling) anyways. It means when you have to hangout with a couple and you're all alone...watching the couple..kissing, hugging, whispering, laughing..cuddling..anyways! yes. that's basically it! Don't third wheel!
*hanging with a couple*
*you: "i'm so lonely..all i see is two people kissing..hugging..whispering..laughing..cuddling. Why can't I have those?!"
*someone else: "imagine third wheeling ahaha"
get someone, do not do third wheel. It is not fun.

Get the Third Wheelingmug. Third wheeling is the act of socializing with a couple, often as an unwanted, unnecessary third person. This can often be related to adding a third wheel on a garbage can: unnecessary for your trash.
