Can we stop with this "boomer" sis joke? - eviltoast

“Boomer” is not a synonym for “old”, “old fashion” or “senior” people.
Stop using it for everything like a stupid spoiled hyper-connected kid ?

best!

note: I’m 39.

    Technically, boomer is a synonym for old.

    No, technically “boomer” designs people born during the baby boom era after the war up to mid 60’s. that’s it! Calling a 50yo or even 40yo a boomer is plain stupidity exposed.

      You’re right, but these kids will never admit it.

      They don’t know that words have actual meanings, they just use them incorrectly often enough that they forget
