“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!

    Technically, boomer is a synonym for old. Anyone who is part of the boomer generation was born at the latest in 1964 and as early as 1946. That, my friend, is old. Someone born in 1964 would be at least 59 at the youngest age and 77 on the older end.

      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
