Backup dancer

Backup dancer came up about 2014 when I kept having friends bring these randoms out them. These people tend to not know they are backup dancers. They generally bring nothing to the table, occasionally they have money but 9 times they are just here to make you look good. They are sometimes mistaken for acquaintances but normally you don't know much about they. After a while they graduate from backup dancing to actually friends.
Who'd you come out with ? Some backup dancers!

Those backup dancers over there are throwing shade.
