wingman

Description

A wingman is the vanguard of friendship, whispering encouragement and clearing obstacles in the battlefield of social interaction. He claims to orchestrate a natural flow during awkward silences, yet secretly feeds his own pride in the shadows. Never the romantic target himself, his loyalty teeters on the edge of ulterior motives. If the plan succeeds, he fades into the background as an unsung hero; if it fails, he becomes the excuse manufacturing machine. Still, he stands by, the most absurd self-sacrifice performed in the name of friendship.

Definitions
