1. A song by Fall Out Boy that talks about where they grew up (Willmette,Illinois, a little north of Chicago). Chicago's weather is affected by Michigan Lake and often causes the surrounding area to be colder.. hence the term "lake effect".

2. A kid from Chicago.
1. Boomerang my head
Back to the city i grew up in
Again and again and again and again
Forever I'm a lake effect kid
I've got the skyline in my veins
Forget your night times
Summer love on a gurney with the squeaky wheel
And Joke us, Joke us
'Till Lakeview Drive comes back into focus

2. Joe: Where are you from?
Steph: I'm a lake effect kid.
