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'.

They like to blame anyone but themselves....
For sure, and thanks for your service.

Generation X is the most fun, we can make fun of the Boomers and the Millenials, or choose to gang up with one against the other whenever we please :)

It’s my defining quality. :)

Oh, and give it 30 years and the millennial generation will be blamed just like they are blaming everyone before them.

“watch too much Anime”

Just say “watch anime”. Any anime is “too much anime”.

The lessons I learned from respected elders when I was a young
whippersnapper was “ Get off your lazy butt and do it or else your butt will
be tanned and and it aint the sun that will do it. “

Just FYI, my original post was due to knowing your posts from here.
We’ve “spoken” before on here.

"I don’t know what Shatner eats or drinks, but he is the sharpest 88 year old person ever."

It's all the time travel in warp speed. Keeps you young..

What is “anime”???

Oh! Gotcha, I see what you mean now.

I’m actually not sure where I fit. Between boomer and gen x, I’ve worked (hard) since 17 years old, did my part in military service, paid for my own education, and found a successful career...

I don’t care who that offends.

LOL! Every dime I have goes to CATS upon my demise! NO human gets anything...

"If he was born in 1931, Shatner is NOT a Boomer. He is of the Silent Generation, as was my own father born in 1936."

As am I...
