Winger were a very talented late 80's and early 90's Glam Metal band from New York, named after lead singer Kip Winger. They made it big with their 1988 self-titled album, and "In the Heart of the Young" in 1990.
However 3 negative things happened that made them lose popularity in the 90's.
1. Grunge taking over the music industry.
2. Conflicts with the band Metallica and their immature attitudes towards Winger.
3. Criticism on the show "Beavis and Butthead". The geeky kid Stewart can be seen wearing Winger shirts, and thus the band was dubbed as uncool.
Rob: I used to like Metallica, but then I discoved Winger and they have some really unique stuff.
Dan: Yeah I have a couple of that bands albums. Screw Metallica. Winger is 100 times better.

The most hardcore heavy metal band of all-time, Winger is well-known as being 1000 times better than Metallica.
Trent: Hey Steve, look at this cool new Metallica CD I bought!
Steve: You idiot, Winger is better than that. I have all of their CDs.

pronounced win-ger. like ginger with no g. used to describe a "wannabe ginger." the winger can either have 1) dyed hair a light to deep ginger color, or 2) be known to fellow peers as having no soul. suspected wingers and their level of wingerness are subject to changed based on circumstance. beware of wingers. they're climbin' in yo windows, snatchin' yo people up, tryin' to rape em.
Lenina: "Gosh, that dude is SUCH a winger. Just look at that baby he just killed. How soulless."
or
Fanny: "I totally hooked up with a winger last night. It was all the fun of a ginger, without actually being a ginger."

"Winger" is used as a closing in a letter, and is an abbreviation of "Your Wingman" which implies a pledge of both friendship and fidelity by the sender. Similar to the use of "Huckleberry" in the phrase, "I'll be your Huckleberry".
When used as a goodbye between two people, i.e. when "Winger" is spoken, it is common to gesture by forming a "W" by holding both hands up in front of you at chest level, extending only your thumbs and pinkies, and putting both thumb tips together so that it looks like a "W".
Tony,
Thanks for the advice!
Winger,
Mike
or
"Hey Tony, I gotta run, but I'll see you later today at the party. Winger" (while making the W gesture)

An especially irksome adolescent who poses as cool by hanging out with the loser crowd, but who is nontheless rejected by them. Derived from the character Stuart of Beavis-and-Butthead fame who wore a Winger t-shirt. Synonomous with dork, dweeb, goob
Look at that winger hanging out with the stoners.

to be chill; just to chill around
She was wingering at the party because she was alone.
