In a technological context, this extends beyond human pregnancy to describe any system, entity, or machine that acts as a substitute, vessel, or experiential proxy for another. This can range from a remote-controlled robot avatar (a "surrogate body") exploring a toxic environment, to an AI that serves as a legal or digital surrogate for a person in virtual meetings, to using engineered organisms as living factories to produce chemicals. It's the outsourcing of presence, risk, or biological function.
Surrogacy Example: In the film Surrogates, people live through pristine robotic Surrogate bodies while their real selves lie inert at home. A more near-term example: a scientist using a haptic-feedback-enabled drone as a surrogate to handle dangerous bio samples in a sealed lab from a continent away.

Surrogate Whale 

A way of trolling which was developed on the bodybuilding forums, misc section. The strategy originated in a thread which was created by carboy109. The strategy was developed by Xorsos. The strategy allows an individual to defame a sloot by using nude pictures of another sloot. These sloots typically have a monstrous physique and are known as whales.
Carboy109: "If you see this image while scrolling the first page, you have been visited by the surrogate whale. You MUST post 'Thank you Surrogate Whale' or you will face loss of gains and NEGS for the rest of your life"

Xorsos: Thank you Surrogate Whale

Wet Dream Surrogate 

A prank by which an unsuspecting passed-out male is subjected to another male's ejaculate being emptied into his pants while asleep. If the prank is successful the Wet Dream Surrogate will awake to find the mess and believe it to be of his own making.
Did you hear? Bobby passed out at the party on the weekend and became a Wet Dream Surrogate.

Violent Passion Surrogate 

The inflammatory allegations and viewpoints offered by pundits in the Mainstream Media, calculated to make people feel righteously indignant, angry, and/or fearful.

V.P.S. is great for keeping people divided over pointless issues and bogged down by a never-ending ending stream of misinformation and biased interpretations which exist only within a truncated frame of reference.
Letting yourself be moved by V.P.S., and especially holding it as sound knowledge is anathema to intelligence and progress as it only causes fragmentation and feelings of intellectual and moral superiority.

Etymology: Taken from Aldous Huxley's book, "Brave New World." In that book's planned perfect society, people need a monthly dose of a concoction called V.P.S. to expose their body to all of the violent emotions which their perfect society does not elicit. It is touted having "all of the tonic effects of killing Desdemona and being killed by Othello," and is essential for bodily health.
Example 1
News Junkie: "That fuckin Bill O'Reilly; how can anyone be so stupid and ignorant?"

Rational Thinker: "Relax, He's paid to be inflammatory and administer your Violent Passion Surrogate."

Example 2
Reactionary: "Goddamn Obama is gonna take away my guns and turn this into a socialist country!"
Rational Thinker: "Relax dude, if they're talking about it on the news it's probably not an important issue but a distraction from real goings-on. It's just some Violent Passion Surroagte to keep you from thinking clearly.

Troy - so Dave, Candice came over to your place last night to talk huh?
Dave - yeah.
Troy - you do realize you're her surrogate boyfriend, right?
Dave - dude, no way.
Troy - totally way. She comes over, cries on your shoulder, hangs out, asks your opinion 'bout stuff. And you don't even make out with her? Total surrogate.
Dave - whatever.
Troy - and once she has a boyfriend she'll stop coming to you.

(6 months later)

Troy - see, Candice is now going out with Jason and she's stopped coming to you.
Dave - I was totally whipped.

(elsewhere)

Leslie - Candice, you're so lucky you had Dave while you and Tommy were broken up.
Candice - yeah, he was a good surrogate boyfriend. But I have Jason now so I'm able to go to him, my real boyfriend, when I have problems or wanna hang out.
