An analogy or a fallacyFake friends are just like a newtons cradle: whenever your not facing them, they'll stab you in the back.

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

Fake friends don't always stab you in the back so I'm assuming you're using a biased sample to make the conclusion that they would. As far as the analogy, that's a big stretch from a ball hitting another ball as being the same as a fake friend turning on you. I'm sure if my imagination stretches with some help I might see the correlation, right now I'm having trouble because Newtowns cradle seems merely a representation of transferring energy from an object to others via momentum., not sure how that's stabbing in the back.
