- Greg, did you see that guy talking to me over there?

- Yeah, Amy, it looked like he was into you.

- Well, he wasn’t. He was interested in talking to Michelle.  He was just using me as a wedge!

- Wait, a what now?

- A wedge.  He wanted to talk to Michelle and I was hanging out with her so he started talking to me first.

- Whoa...hey...you can’t do that. You need a partner to do that--someone to talk to the friend while you launch an initiative against the primary target.  This guy was trying to be his own wingman!

- Hey...you’re right.

- That is a complete violation of bar etiquette.  I know not of this “wedge,” but I absolutely know that you can’t be your own wingman. It’s like O.J. Simpson saying he’s going to track down his wife’s killer--it’s just chasing yourself around in a circle.
