Adjective. A person whom a man deems acceptable as a partner for protected sex, but a long term
relationship would be unlikely. Male equivalent of "spongeworthy", from Seinfeld. Sock refers to
condom, or other prophylactic barrier. Implied meaning is that the prospective partner could possibly have a bad reputation, an
STD, or barely exceeds one's minimum standards.
