Phrase used by drummer Roger Taylor when addressing Freddie Mercury during the early start of the (infamous) band, Queen. This phrase can be spotted in the (beautiful) song, Crazy Little Things Called Love. (This catchphrase was invented well before Queen, but it is now known for being their sentence.)
*Freddie, about to start singing*
Roger: "Ready Freddie?"
Freddie, John, Brian and Roger: *Beautiful musical sounds*

A person who is someone you know and are "friends" with, but isnt treated like a friend. You are treated like an acquaintence. This is a person one only talks to when their actual friends are away. The person who is the back-up friend is treated poorly and is usually someone who doesnt have a lot of friends or gets a lot of dates. The backup friend is someone who gets the short end of the stick when it comes to friendship. The person who sees you as a backup friend doesnt care about you and isnt concerned with any part of you as long as you are someone they can come to when they want to converse with someone when their real friends have disappeared.
You see someone who you've been friends with who you havent seen in some time, but you want to invite them out for a drink or dinner and they all of a sudden ignore you, yet they were really chatty with you several months earlier. A clear sign you are a backup friend.

Although unloved and unwanted, the person is still allowed to hang around because of his previous relationship to those wronged. Adapted from the Fredo character in the Godfather movies.
Unfortunately, history has proven there is no way to tactfully make the outcast depart. Fredo Corleone was shot in the back while fishing in The Godfather Part II, a particularly cruel yet fair conclusion to any Fredo Scenario.

Jack: “That bastard…I’m finished with Sam. He has become a living example of The Fredo Scenario.”
Will: "I wish we had a fishing boat."
