emergadate 

The person you know you can go to when you need a last minute date for an event and every other person you'd prefer to go with can't make it. Characteristics inculde: always free on very short notice and fun to be with but of no romantic interest.

"I bought non-refundable tickets to the comedy club to surprise Monique but she had to go out of town; I called my emergadate the night before and now I'm going with Beth. Whew!"

Emergitate

e·mer·gi·tate/ɪˈmɜ r.dʒɪ.teɪt
verb intransitive e·mer·gi·tat·ed, e·mer·gi·tat·ing.

1. To practice mindfulness, meditation, or deep spiritual contemplation while sitting directly beneath the canopy of a tree.
2. To rise out of a state of mental chaos, stress, or obscurity into clear, calm awareness through tree-based reflection.

Etymology: A 21st-century blend (portmanteau) of the English words emerge (to rise up from an obscure or confined condition; to come into view) + meditate (to engage in mental exercise for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness).

“She emergitated under a tree for 3 hours straight.”
“I’m going to emergitate in my garden.”
