  Sounds almost as irritating as “OK boomer”. Which I have to say is especially irritating to be on the receiving end of since I’m not a boomer.

      Definitions exist for a reason. You don’t just decide something is something else and it’s age racist as fuck.

        Language evolves, the meaning of words change. It’s a natural part of the evolution of language over time. You say hang up the phone or dial a phone number, don’t you? But you don’t literally hang up a phone when you’re done with it or turn a literal dial anymore. But they used to work that way, so we still use that language even though the original meaning is lost.

        I would argue that although this phrase originated from dismissing the opinions of actual boomers, it’s become a convenient shorthand way of calling someone out of touch with current social trends without having to adapt new phrases every time.

    Don’t invite trolls.

    Millenials like nothing better than call everyone their grandparents and put nasty labels on their grandmoms and granddads.

      Millennial are in their 30s and 40s, half the time theyre on the receiving end of OK Boomer.

      IMO its great to be able to say “your lack of experience with the world as it exists now, and not 20+ years ago has left you unable and unwilling to understand. I am giving up trying to help you learn” in just 2 words
