The
straight man of the
Marx brothers.
Also in
teenage cliques, the
average one. Most commonly found in the most
popular groups, this
person is
treated as an equal, but is there to provide
contrast to the others greatness, while not posing a
threat. For instance, the
cheerleaders usually have one
girl that has a "great personality" or "really pretty face" to make the others feel more beautiful. Thankfully,
nerd groups tend to lack this feature/bug. Always thought it was an
east coast expression but I guess its spread.
This is different from the
Omega of the group and the
hoverers of the group of course.
