Stand-in

Hawaii’s volcanic activity today is a good stand-in for the conditions that existed on ancient Mars.

They used a stand-in to set up the lighting so that the actor did not have to be there during the lengthy process.

France's own stand-in stand-off Trinh-Duc missed with a drop-goal when well set but then set off on a curving run through a scattered defensive line which carried him deep into enemy territory until Weepu's desperate tap-tackle finally brought him down.

Beans, corn, and even chopped broccoli work not just as stand-ins but can elevate a meal. Each brings its unique texture and flavor profile.
