2--Well, I'm going out to dinner with two couples.
 
1--You know what that means.
 
2--Ouch! You are going to be the fifth wheel.
 
1--I know, but luckily the couples are really cool. So I won't feel too left out.
 
2--A car does not need a fifth wheel.
 
1--If someone is a fifth wheel, they may feel like an unimportant part of a group, usually a group of couples.
