social frog

n. (1980's USA) Someone who bounces from clique to clique.

Unlike a social climber, whose intent is usually to work one's way "up" a social pecking order, a social frog is just trying to have as much fun as possible without getting attached to the cliques they jump into.

Differs from a social butterfly in that the social frog is less likely to be welcome.

I used to think Fred was cool b/c he was partying every Saturday night, until I realized he was just a social frog who didn't have any real friends.
