minus-squaredanc4498@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·8 months agoNo, but my kids call me a boomer and I’m a millennial. I appreciate the shade.
minus-squaretegs_terry@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·8 months agoAll this generational nomenclature is so fucking infuriating. All it seems to do is cause friction.
minus-squarePlopp@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoFound the boomer! No but seriously though, I agree.
minus-squareRoss_audio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-28 months agoWrong way to approach it. To parents, start using the word wrong. Any time you kid does something cool you might have done as a kid. “Awesome, that’s so boomer.” If they can’t do their homework. “You’re such a boomer.” It drives kids up the wall when parents use slang right, but when you use it wrong it’s even more infuriating.
