A friend who isn't really part of the group, but who you hang out with when the rest of the group is gone.
Why isn't Kailyn paying any attention to Meggie?
Oh, Meggie's just her back-up friend. She's talking to Ashley right now.

someone you are friends with, but doesn't make the list(first cut, VIP, ect) for an activity, and then is called upon to fill in when a "Real friend" cannot be there
1)Hey did you enjoy the party?
Nah, i didn't know there was one.:(
Oh that's right, because you're a BACK-UP FRIEND! HAHA
2) Hey man, i can't make it tonight. Call Drew, you know he doesn't have any real friends.

A friend who is not exactly an acquaintance, but, will never be the first hand option to hang out with, invite to social events or chat.
"Did you invite Sarah to go to the mall with us tomorrow?"
"Nah, she's just a back pocket friend, she's not fun to hang out with"
"Nah, she's just a back pocket friend, she's not fun to hang out with"

A friend that's last on your list of friends. A Fall Back Friend usually is the go-to friend when none of your other friends are available. This type of friend usually is irritating and shows up at the worst times and says stupid things. this kind of friend hangs out with all of your other friends and ruins good conversations. Also, you don't know why you have his/her number on your phone since you would never call him/her. The fall back friend always asks to go with you to places when your going out with all your other friends
dude 1 : "Hey guys, we're chillen at mike's after school! john's bringing the drinks and steve's bringin the food"
Fall Back Friend : "Can i come too??"
dude 1: "uhm, its kinda gonna be crowded."
fall back friend: "i don't care"
dude 1: *sigh* "ugh, alright, just don't bug us."
fall back friend: "Gee, Thats swell! I can't wait! I'll Bring my entire deck of pokemon cards and we can play all night!"
dude 1 : "no you're not."
fall back friend: "Why not?"
Dude1 : "CUZ I SAID SO! now stfu"
