A person who is a self-proclaimed fan of the Jenny/Niki pairing from Showtime's series The L Word that features central character Jennifer Schecter hooking up with a 21-year-old ditzy bimbo of an actress named Niki Stevens who behaves as though she's 10. The Jenkis are the people who coined the term Shencest as a response to the people who wished to have Jenny and her long-time friend Shane McCutcheon become a couple, saying that the two are like sisters. The Jenkiphile term was created in response - because if the Shenny are into incest, the Jenkis are into pedophilia, considering Niki's diminished mental capacity and extreme emotional immaturity.

Jen(ny) + (Ni)ki + (pedo)phile = Jenkiphile.

Typically, fans of this pairing are shallow, ignorant teenagers who are only into the relationship because Niki is aesthetically attractive and because she and Jenny are supposedly cute together.

Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed
