when one returns home to live with their folks after graduating college.
thanks to the boomerang effect i can't find a job or a decent place to live that is better than where I lived for 18 years before college.

When it's a joke or a pun and you miss the main punch line but catch it later and it hits you in the back of the head at a random time
Ohhhh I just got that joke from earlier

Sorry my minds like a boomerang effect lately

Whenever a boomer does something that turns out to backfire completely.
My old boss felt the boomerang effect good the other day. He voted to remove immigrants from the country, but now there are none to wash his house.

When a college student graduates and leaves college, only for him/her to end up living back at his/her parent's house. This is usually because after college they have to pay their tuition, loans, etc., and they're so freaking high that Bill Gates couldn't even pay it off, and the job they currently have is not enough to pay for it and an apartment.
I could have gotten an apartment but instead my parents and I suffered the boomerang effect because of my tuition and bank loans. Now I live at my parent's house.
