BOOMERang

A BOOMERang is typically someone who keeps returning to a debate in order to have the “last word” in order to generate the verisimilitude of being the winner of the debate. This applies to anyone who already said “bye” in the debate but keeps coming back. This form of behavior is common amongst those suffering from Dunning-Krueger effect.

Note: this sort of behavior was first spotted amongst the members of the boomer generation, however it is in no way exclusive to them and younger generations are just as easily susceptible to this type of behavior. This is in no way derogatory of age or a form of age based discrimination.

Look at this BOOMERang doing his thing trying to win the debate.

The Boomerang Effect

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.

Boomerang comment

A comment or pun that you don't understand or hear properly at the time, but you get it soon after.
The realisation hits you later what the comment/pun means.

*Filthy comment you missed*

A couple of seconds later...

"Aw man, ya dirty bastard"
"Bit of a boomerang comment for you there?"
"Yes, the realisation of your filth, hit me ferociously."
