Isn't a boomer somebody who was born during the baby boom? What's the boomer phase of life?
- rnd0 3y agoThank you! I'd enjoy it if someone expanded on this too.
- prepend 3y agoIt’s the phase that they start disagreeing with whatever GP doesn’t like. Boomer seems like it’s used as a random negative descriptor rather than what it actually is as a generational label.
- dogleash 3y ago"boomer" is derogatory slang that started out as likening someone to a generational baby boomer, but doesn't really mean that now and is hard to put in a few words. If you want proof it's a thing, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_boomer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_boomer. That's a pretty wretched source tho. It's written by and for the kind of people who think citing thinkpieces in The Guardian can have any relation to how slang is actually used in real life.
