Refers to the rare and off-the-scale-wonderful "lucky break" obtained in the following scenario: you are "just suffering" to say something rude/impolite, but then of course you immediately regret said verbal-indiscretion just as soon as it's slipped past yer flapper. But then --- by the grace of Fate --- the unwitting recipient of your snide remark either hadn't been paying attention properly when you'd uttered your auditory barb, he is a bit hard-of-hearing, or you hadn't been speaking loudly enough to be heard over the distance and/or other background noises that were present at the time, and so your "victim" never actually understood --- nor did he suffer any emotional distress from --- your insult, and so he innocently/apologetically asks you to repeat yourself. But of course, YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO SAY THE MEAN STATEMENT A SECOND TIME --- now that you've "relieved your internal pressure" by initially making the simmery-tempered remark and then THINKING that the other person heard you, you can now proceed more clear-headedly, and so you can simply say, "Nuthin'" or, "Never mind" when the other person asks you what you'd said.
I was heatedly peeved about how long it had taken the local garage to repair my car, so I made a regrettably-choice remark as I entered the office to pay my bill. Fortunately, though, the office's connecting-door was still somewhat ajar as I spoke, and so the din of the noisy garage-tools drowned out my derogatory statement, allowing me a classic "Will Rogers" second chance to just clamp my tongue. Yup, Ol' "Willie R" was right --- "Never miss a good chance to SHUT UP."
the first soft-agressive-unmelodic-pop band to ever exist. ever. some call the band the first new-core band ever as well. both are acceptable.
the lead singer in second chance at redemption is extremely good looking, but the rest of the band is not.

any pair of pants or article of clothing that has tricky buttons or fasteners that would cause the wearer to think twice before disrobing, especially important to wear when one knows a night of drinking and ex boy/girlfriends are in the evening plans
Thank God I wore my second-chance-pants last night, I saw Todd at the party. If I didn't have those few extra second to think, it could have been a gi-normous disaster...

An invitation to a social event that arrives late, or appears to be offered as an afterthought. An invitation forwarded to a person who is not a core group member.
Becky mentioned that Shazza is having a fondue party, but I made up an excuse as I deemed it was a second chance draw offer.
Some people try to make the point that you only get so many second chances. Once you get past one second chance, you don't get any more second chances, you're already on your third chance.
Once you die, you stop at the second chance, the fourth chance, or the chance you were on, but you never get another second chance after you've had one second chance.
