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.

Boomerang gay/lesbian

A boomerang gay/lesbian 🪃 is someone who engages in flirtatious behaviour then disappears to play the field/hoe face around and then tries to come back to you like a boomerang (once they potentially feel like worthless and shitty about themselves).

It stems from a Chinese proverb 好馬不吃回頭草.

This translates into "A Good Horse Will Never Return to Graze on Grass that It Has Already Passed by." - A Chinese Proverb or similarly, “Grass isn’t always Greener”

So don’t accept that return boomerang. They lost their chance :)
Joe is such a messy boomerang gay, he’s trying to slide in my DMs again after disappearing for weeks to date/hoe around.
