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

something you say when you ask someone something weird but don’t want it to seem like you’re actually asking it
person a: "if a human and a dog conceived, would the female get pregnant and give birth to a humandog? 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.

Usually people will say this when they’re asking for themselves but to embarrassed. Some people are actually asking for a friend when they say this but people still assume they’re talking about themselves.
Jennifer: is your cousin single? Asking for a friend.
Todd: do you like him?
Jennifer: no, I’m actually asking for a friend. I’m not gonna say who though.
Todd: do you like him?
Jennifer: no, I’m actually asking for a friend. I’m not gonna say who though.
