residents or individuals hailing from the Lower-Haight subdistrict of San Francisco. This is the portion of Haight St. beginning with the intersection of Divisadero St. all the way until Haight Street intersects with Market street. The title is a point of pride for members of the dynamic, hip urban-esque subdistrict as it separates (us) from petchouli oil soaked middle-class runaways from the midwest who tend to flock to and occupy the upper Haight-Ashbury sub-district located between Golden Gate and Buena Vista Parks.

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
