Refers to either of two equally-unhealthy practices that seemingly "skips a place" in the chain of progression, but has a comparably-negative result --- Person A acts as a financial "crutch" for Person B, allowing Person B to continue his dissipative lifestyle:
(1) Where you do not beg resources directly (i.e., "first generation" enabling) from a financially-solvent person who is sick of your mooching, but you instead ask your "benefactor" to extend charity to your equally "spongy" offspring (i.e., you shamelessly take advantage of the person's "family man" nature by using the pathetically-manipulative "cute cherub-faced kiddos" or "they'll only be young once, so I wanna give them a decent childhood" pressure-excuse), or
(2) You don't request a certain amount of money --- say, twenty bucks --- from the disgruntled "provider" for "excessive/addictive/self-abusive" products (i.e., tobacco, alcohol, lottery tickets, unnecessary "pretty things", etc.) that he refuses to provide you with, but you instead ask him for that same twenty bucks to purchase "basic necessities" like simple groceries or household/repair products that he HAS agreed to help you out with obtaining... the catch, of course, is that you spend your OWN twenty bucks on those other unhealthy/senseless purchases instead of spending it on the healthful basics that your friend is giving you money for, and so in the end you are still getting him to make it possible for you to continue your unwise/unhealthy lifestyle.
Be wary of anyone who agreeably says, "Okay, fine --- I won't ask you for any more money for unhealthy stuff; I'll use my own funds for them. But please do give me some money for those "basic necessities" that you said you WOULD buy for me." Well, don't you see --- that's really the same destructive deal when all's said and done --- oh, sure, the person may indeed not be "directly" asking you to buy him cigarettes, but the person is merely using the last of his **own** money for them, and then asking you for money to buy the groceries that he himself could have purchased if he hadn't spent his last dollar on coffin-nails! It doesn't really matter where your added funds are "injected:" into the person's budget --- it's still just second-generation enabling!
In the context of American law and politics, the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms. In the United States, you are allowed to use armed weapons (not just guns) to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your property.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The amendment was written into law because the Founding Fathers knew that states start becoming tyrannical by disarming its populace in order to oppress them. Effectively, this amendment ensures that Americans are able to defend themselves against tyranny to protect their rights.
It’s part of the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States.
“The Second Amendment is the personification of ‘Mercia, baby!”

An especially eventful 'hot second'.
"That video call took a spicy second."
To pour your milk first when making a bowl of cereal. This is usually how to tell someone is an undercover cop or civilian informant.
Don't fucks with that guy. Word on the streets is he's a Cereal Second Guy.
Removing the first slice of bread in a loaf to take the fresher one underneath it. Usually the second-slicer neglects to throw out the rejected first slice, instead choosing to crumple it back into the packet. This eventually leads to third- and fourth-slicing, until basically the whole top half of the loaf is stale. Also applies to: biscuits.
"Why are the first three slices of this loaf all crumpled and stale?"
"Urgh. That would be due to the second-slicing."
