Friendship Reciprocity Ratio 

The friendship reciprocity ratio, or F.R. Ratio, is the ratio representing the unwritten friendship law that the sum of x-friend's purchases for y-friend should be equal to, or as close to equal to, y-friend's purchases for x-friend. The closer to "0" this ratio is, the more substantial the friendship. Any friend who is significantly negative in this ratio is a shitty friend.
Dave- Dude, Greg "forgot" his wallet again. Had to pay for his lunch again. Not to mention I bought him an Audi for his birthday last month and all I got was a misspelled "Hapie Berthday" on Facebook today.

Nate- Greg is a shitty friend. What's your guys' friendship reciprocity ratio at now?

Dave- I think he's got our F.R. Ratio down to -$3,000,000 now.

Nate- Wow dude, what a piece of shit.

Non-Reciprocating Tool 

a completely self-absorbed, unaware "friend" (READ: douche) that you do things for *all the time* that NEVER returns the favor, even in times of crisis, always making the excuse that they're working or busy or just *can't* for whatever reason--always an excuse--ANY time you ask them, no matter what; someone who never returns the many favors you've done for them.
"My Dad just died and I can't find sittage for the funeral tomorrow. Since I've watched your kids for free for the past two days, do you think you can sit mine for a few hours while I go to my Dad's memorial service?"

Non-Reciprocating Tool: "Tomorrow? Oh, no way. Sorry. Gotta work online and stuff. You know. Busy and all. Can't. Maybe next time."
