LOL! My kids say this to me all the time even though Im a Gen X guy anyway
Are you white? Are you a male?
Then it’s OK to discriminate. Happens every day.
Boomer.
It’s the same thing as saying “Whatever old man”.
What I noticed looking at leftist sites, social media and apps is if you question why a millennial supports communists and communism, for example they’ll praise Bernie as a God and you let them know Bernie is communist, right away they’ll call you a “boomer” as if it’s an insult. I guess Bernie Stalin doesn’t qualify as a “boomer” as he was hatched 1941.
Haha! Me too. :D
There needs to be a meme to go viral. Pic of “Burney” with the caption “OK, Boomer”.
yep
I don’t mind being called “boomer”.
I answer them with “ignorant dumbass”.
works for me.
Drove past a large age-55 trailer park the other day and called it Boomerville. My son cracked up laughing.
Doomer is best retort Ive seen so far imo.
Compared with the current generation and its predecessor, every Baby Boomer and an absolute genius.
When you try to make people beleive there aren’t just two sexes, that alone spells “a lost generation”. It’s going to take some cataclysmic event in the future to breed the stupid out that kids born in the past 25 years have been and will be exposed to.
Saying anything will get you some lash back from someone who’s offended.
Roberts is only 64? Looks like we are stuck with him unless he is being blackmailed and it comes out.
Snowflake Americans have really lowered the bar for what qualifies as discriminatory or offensive.”
I wouldn’t object to being called “boomer” but I have no doubt age discrimination exists and is fairly widespread. I’ve not been subjected to it, personally, but I’ve observed many instances of people who have.
People, especially men, in their 50’s and 60’s get the worst of it. I’m grateful I never had to seek a job since the late 70’s. However I know others who have, and it ain’t easy. Your best bet is to keep improving your knowledge and skills throughout your career.
I got great advice from my supervisor way back when. He said most people think that doing great work will get you rewarded. He went on to point out there’s a missing factor in that equation: visibility.
You may be doing a great job, and your boss may acknowledge it. However, you will be more successful if you make it a point to let others know. It’s tricky to do without irriating people, but a skill well worth making the effort to develop.
John Belushi would have celebrated his 71st birthday next week if not for that stupid overdose. Definitely a boomer.
Is calling the prosecution morons a bad thing? What gall to waste the court’s time and our tax dollars.
I have never considered myself part of the “boomer” generation. I’m 52 born in ‘67. I was always under the impression the end of the boomer gen was between ‘62 and ‘65.
Usually the ok boomer thing is associated with some form of climate bs.
Just hit them with "that's right doomer."
