Jul 26 Word of the Day
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
I got a call from X the other night. She had an extra ticket to a concert she bought for a friend, but they couldn’t make it so she called me to ask if I wanted to go because I am her Second String Friend.

Dingle is a polish greeting that dates back to the 19th century. Participants touch the tips of their index fingers together and say "Dingle!"
Dingaling for the first time is huge honor and privilege which essentially costimates the friendship of the participants, as it is believed that energy flows in and out of the finger tips.
Dingle can be a one on one activity or a group activity.

As of the 2000's Dingle is dying out but there are still those of us who are trying to keep it alive.
