Runner up

The person who comes in second. The first person to lose to the winner. The person who is made fun of just less than the person who comes in last.

"Dont worry Timmy, we'll still love you even if your the runner up"
Girl one: "Oooh, who's that guy, he's such a hottie" Girl two: "Oh, he's the runner up" Girl one: "Ew, he's so dirty"

the runner-up e-mail

The e-mail you send to ex-lovers after you get engaged or married. It is similar to a form letter rejection for a job or college admission.

"Dear John, I know things did not go so well between us, but you should know it was you and not me. By the way, I'm engaged to someone else. He is a wonderful man named...."

Runner Runner Up The Ass

To fail at a task or game at the last moment on a consistent basis. Usually but not always through no fault of their own.

Every hand of poker I play I get Runner Runner Up The Ass. I'm never going to win.
