Star Trek actor William Shatner waded into a generational row last night as he took aim at the catchphrase 'OK Boomer' and feuded with a Twitter user who had blamed older people for millennial 'hardships'.
The jibe 'OK Boomer' has become popular among millennials and the younger Generation Z, who use it to show exasperation with older people and their opinions.
One Twitter user aimed it at Shatner yesterday but the Hollywood veteran, who was born in 1931, fired back: 'Sweetheart, that's a compliment for me.'
Warming to his theme, Shatner said he would 'wear that badge with honor' and embarked on a heated row with a millennial user, eventually calling her 'divaesque'.

You’re crazy. They’re in charge many places. (40-54 year olds)
What industry do you work in?
Millenials are about to inherit much of the boomer generation’s assets. A little advice may accompany the gift.
“....And, let them pay for our funeral expenses....”
Plenty of dumpsters in a city!
Just needed to finish the sentence
Heck, who is going to take care of the Millennials, when the Boomers are gone?

Shatner was the first person to use “so get out of your parent’s basement” as an insult.
My father was born in 1936, too. I wasn’t aware Mr. Shatner was so much older.
Did you say something?
Boomers built everything you have.
I don’t know what Shatner eats or drinks, but he is the sharpest 88 year old person ever.
They are so dumb they can’t count or do math without a phone.
She needn’t know the definition of the word to have her feelings hurt. It doesn’t read like flattery or apology or affirmation, so it must be a challenge to her and her beliefs, and makes her sad. He’s a bad mean man.
Our own kids have made mostly bad decisions as well. The weird thing is that we now have grandkids that can only be described as amazing. This is mostly despite of their parents, not because of them. Somehow kids seem to turn out better when they face a few hardships than when they are coddled.
“it’s right there on the paystub.”
If they have one. :)
Yes, many Boomers were hedonistic twits ... we’ve always had hedonistic twits ... before Hippies it was Beatniks. The generation that went through the depression and WW2 didn’t have as much time so there’s the illusion of a missed bunch that were better between the Flappers and Beatniks.
It’s too bad your proverbial Okies from Muskogee and other squares from around the country took the brunt of Vietnam.
The Village, of course.
