eli5: What is the meaning of “the prodigal son returns”

884 viewsOther

I’ve seen the term “prodigal son” used in other ways before, but it’s pretty much always “the prodigal son returns”. I’ve tried to Google it before and that has only confused me more honestly.

The responses you’re seeing here are right, but I will add that sometimes people use it as a joke, as banter with someone they haven’t seen in a long time. Akin to how people use “well, look what the cat dragged in!” with a smile toward an old friend.
