      This isn’t a generational thing. For a start, he’s technically Gen X, not a boomer. And secondly, I’m older than him and I’m just as happy about that as everyone else.

          Which is really really sad. When I was younger I used to think we just need these old people to age out of the system and my generation can do things better. We seem to be doing significantly worse.

          (Gen X voted for Trump at a higher rate than boomers)

          That’s really sad because the younger someone is the more they are going to be fucked by the long term effects of Donald Trainwreck’s enshitification of everything. Nuclear proliferation from the new world disorder, global warming, hyperinflation of the national debt due to gigantic tax cuts for the billionaire elites, hollowing out democracy, normalization of corruption, normalization of routine dishonesty, huge economic inefficiencies that comes with wealth inequality, removal of previous rights like abortion, vast increase in government incompetency, etc

        Boomer, n. “A privileged asshole who keeps fucking things up for everyone else.”

        If that doesn’t apply to you, they’re not insulting you.

          You can’t just make up a definition of a word.

              The OED would liy to know your location.

                The OED is quite accepting of multiple definitions that develop over time! They love citing first known usage, it gets them hard as diamonds.

                  The OED, like all dictionaries, goes by usage. One person using a word in a different way, is never going to make it.

                    All definitions start somewhere, and, just fyi:

                    “Ok Boomer” wasn’t actually directed at boomers before decrepit millennials stole it from the youths. It was directed at people with the toxic mindset associated with conservativism and “old fashioned” opinions on social issues.

                    The kinds of asshole that climb up a ladder and kick it down behind them.
