      It still gets them very very mad if someone says it. No matter how arrogant and condescending their kicked-down-the-ladder-behind-them generational posturing gets, a single "ok boomer" can emotionally floor them to this day. grill-broke

      The only way to avoid that is fumbling your Taylor.

    I really hope that "OK boomer" article is an older one because I don't even see people saying that anymore

      Nope, published October 8th of this year. But being 4-5 years behind on the state of memes is pretty on brand for a boomer.

        Ever hear a 50something say "based" out loud in response to something racist? It hurts. grillman

        Disclaimer: Yes I know officially-labeled boomers are older than that, but Xers of a certain economic and sociopolitical overlap have so much in common with boomers that it really is more a lifestyle than a specific age.

          Boomer has decoupled from the Baby Boom generation and is now more of an anti-ideology, an untheory of mind. A disphilosophy

      When did boomers stop writing "Millenials are spoiled children who should be spanked because they're naughty" articles? 2019? 2022?

      It should make a comeback considering that that article was written two days ago. Clearly it worked against that particular age/class demographic crossover. grill-broke

    My favorite op-ed section is from the Guardian. Not because i give a shit about their opinions, but because they will have the most ghoulish headline and right next to it is a large picture of the author just staring at you

    All of these people make $200k per year and their heads turn into a 1940s cartoon police whistle when they see a homeless person

    How sad is it when Maureen Dowd’s column is the least insane one currently on The NY Times op ed page?
