Nickname for Sting, lead singer in the group 'The Police'. Why it's his nickname when it's longer than his normal stagename is a mystery, a mystery that is said to have been solved by an Ape that goes by the name of Rip. This Ape is said to be found in various KFC outlets throughout South-Eastern England. But approach with care as he uses hax.

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