asking for a friend 

Someone uses this phrase while asking a question. They claim to be asking for a friend, when they are in fact asking for themselves.

Asking for a friend 

Used when someone knows the questioning is stupid or embarrassing and doesn't want to take the blame for asking such a question. Everyone knows they're really asking for themselves, but they pretend their conscience is clear.
