::whips out the book of Top Gun quotes::

"The plaque for the alternates is in the ladies room"

"Christ, I could have taken the shot by now!"

"What's your problem, Kazanski?!?"

"First time... crashed and burned. Second time? I don't know but it's looking good so far"

"I feel the need... the need... for SPEED!"

... okay got that off my chest. "Wingman?!?" Shouldn't a better question have been, "would you want this fool introducing you as 'my wingman'?"

Shit...　::puts on the hip waders:: I guess I should take better precautions when I fall into YD Forum territory. :roll:

YD is full of dickheads.

Nevertheless, the wingman thing is funny for me because I've been using that terminology for a long time. When guys travel in pairs, one of them has to be the wingman. His job is to strategically take down the inevitable ugly chick that hangs out with the cute chick at a bar/club. Since the cute chick is being targetted by the wingman's friend, the wingman makes a sacrifice for the good of the team. Incidentally, the ugly chick is known as the "blocker" (as in the blocker in American football) who runs interference for the cute chick. The blocker on occasion is also cute, but her job is the same: to provide a convenient excuse for her friend to get out of there just as you are making the moves on her.

Does anybody have other terms for this phenomenon?

That's why "looking for a wingman" is so sad. It's like saying, "Hey, I'm looking for someone to cover me while I try to get my sorry ass laid."

Who the hell would volunteer to do that for some rando gaijin goof?

I sure as hell wouldn't do it. Christ, anyone who VOLUNTEERS to be a wingman is either: a) married, b) geigh, c) so lacking in self-esteem they have no hope, d) attends "What's your hobby?" parties on a regular basis.

Ha! I get asked that once in a while (or, "what did you do this weekend")... but it's always the same... I'm trying to take over the world!

:twisted: I think what he means by wingman is someone to go out with to pick up girls. Since most girls travel in group of atleast 2, then having a buddy with you makes it easier for he and you to pick up girls. Its common sense. Evidently if he had a buddy to go out with, then he would have asked him, so instead he asked you guys and got ripped up. A wingman is someone to go out with to pick up girls. Someone to take the extra baggage consisting of a dates friends, is simply put, either a good friend, someone who doesnt give a shit, or a dumbass. But guys, use your head. I dont think he was asking for one of you guys to be the latter. :evil:

... did you click on the link and read the article? Ultra posted it as an example of how bad the YD's forum is, not because he needs a wingman (which he doesn't... one, two, a cheerleader squad, he can handle them all...).

:lol:

Actually it was posted as an example of how cool they are. I get a kick out of them in small doses. You guys are too harsh.

I think kamome nailed the wingman definition that I subscribe to. Wingman is a subordinate position where a guy is making a sacrifice by taking on the ugly chick so his brother can go after her hottie friend.

Of course, I guess everyone is entitled to have their own definitions...not unlike the great "Charisma Man" debate (where kamome was like a little Yorkie snapping at my ankles that just would not let go).

Why, thank you.

...and Ultra was like a pesky gnat that kept buzzing around my ear. :roll:

Keep reading the backlog of posts you missed. There's a lot of little gems buried in there that I use to test whether you're actually reading stuff or not.

Btw, you can check the new scoreboard on the bottom of the forum main page. The current tally is:

I saw it on tape a few years ago. My brother's friend was a Jewish kid aspiring to be Chris Tucker. I think he watched it every weekend. Never did see Next Friday though.
