same same. . . I guess this is what happens when you bastardize a language. It’s like a set of twins with their own language. I’m not even close to being a boomer.

The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines "baby boomer" as "a person born during a period of time in which there is a marked rise in a population's birthrate", "usually considered to be in the years from 1946 to 1964".[10]Pew Research Center defines baby boomers as being born between 1946 and 1964.[11] The United States Census Bureau defines baby boomers as "individuals born in the United States between mid-1946 and mid-1964."[12][13] The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics defines the "post-World War II baby-boom generation" as those born between 1946 and 1964,[14][15] as does the Federal Reserve Board which uses 1946–1964 to define baby boomers.[16]Gallup defines baby boomers as those born from 1946 through 1964.[17]

Such a boomer thing to not understand that slang is a thing. Boomer does not necessarily mean baby boomer, but rather just exhibiting the same mindset of a baby boomer will earn you the title boomer. Boomer.

Wait what? Can you describe what a boomer mindset is exactly? I always understood "boomer" to be someone born between a specific post WWII time frame.

Again, what is this mindset? Can you quantify it for me? Is there something specific or is it just a derogatory term used against someone that doesnt agree with your logic, beliefs or thinking? Serious question.

That seems to be what it means. I guess I’m a boomer then for thinking that we should just say what we mean. People aren’t woke, they are hypersensitive. Saying that all life is sacred and matters isn’t racist. There is a difference between peacefully protesting and rioting, looting, and damaging property. The cancel culture is counterproductive to a free society, etc. Today we seem to demonize the messenger rather than honestly debate the message. If that defines a boomer, then I sure won’t consider being called a boomer a derogatory term, it means that one is capable of thinking independently rather than mindlessly reciting the mob narrative.
