Get the The Leonard Affect mug.Essence given to an inanimate object due to its relation to a good memory or memories. Usually people save these items and take care of them for a long time because of the emotional value given to the object
Person 1: John won’t ever sell that old Ford Bronco, won’t he?
Person 2: It was given to him by his late father when he just turned 17, he died two months later after he gave him the Bronco. It’s one of the few memories that he has of him, and it’s now an object of affection. There’s no price tag to the memories he lived in that suv.

Get the affectionable mug.Like an afterthought, this is when you tweet more than once in a 10 minute period following your previous tweet and related to your previous tweet, but not a specific add-on to the previous tweet.
(5 minutes after tweeting about the long line...) As an aftertweet, the guy in line in front of me smells like an old lunch box at the beginning of the year when it's been shut all Summer.

Get the Aftertweet mug.Similar to a convenience friend, an affection tourist is someone who circulates around friend groups, focussing on particular individuals for as long as that person gives them affection/attention.
Usually an affection tourist will latch on to those who invest in the tourists well-being and/or emotional state. It is rare for an affection tourist to invest back.
Sometimes an affection tourist will target someone new when they need something, like they break up with their partner and need some sympathy. In this situation, they will be super friendly to the target, becoming their temporary best friend until their affection needs are met and move on to the next target, usually quite suddenly.
Once the continued affection is depleted/starts to wane, or someone else offers attention, the affection tourist moves on and barely speaks to the previous person for some considerable time, not out of dislike for that person but just because they can't be bothered as that person has nothing to offer the tourist.

"Sarah? Yeah we used to hang out all the time, but she's an affection tourist. She hasn't called me in months. She spends all her time with Jane now."
"James broke up with his boyfriend last week. I hadn't heard from him in months, but suddenly he's all about hanging out with me and doing stuff. It's great but I'm not holding out much hope of it lasting because he's just an affection tourist. I'm sure he'll find someone else to be best friends with soon."
