so in my country, calling someone a Boomer is offensive to elderly people but it is a hot meme word too.
how do you respond to someone younger, more like teenager, when he/she calls you a Boomer? |

I wave my walking stick at them and give them an irrelevant "when I was a lad . . . " story.

Silly, what is offensive about being labeled by the generation in which you were born? Baby-Boomers isn't what kids are using "boomer" as nowadays. It also isn't the old "Nickname" for a crane operator that some guys would get because they had a name that was hard to pronounce. Kids use it to call those who mess up things that they find easy like using a computer. "You're old and dumb." They're dipsticks. |

Kids use it to call those who mess up things that they find easy like using a computer. "You're old and dumb." They're dipsticks. I was bored one day, about 2001 in Palm Springs, so I had an old friend tell a few people I would hold a free class on how to use a computer..80 people showed up. So we moved it to a conference room at one of their golf courses, word of mouth only made the next meeting 300 people strong! The next, 500 people, who had no idea how to use email. You never saw such a group of learners, mostly over 70, so anxious to be able to communicate with their families who were starting to only use email. By 3 meetings, most were able to write a web page. Yes, I am good ;-) I turned it all over to the first guy, far as I know they still meet hahahaha Point being, those who want to learn are all ages and desire to learn is accentuated in the ones with less time in which to do it. So, if 'Boomer' is now derogatory, I'll wear it proudly ;-) |

To Generation Butthurt...the worst thing that can happen is for someone to call you a name. When you don't collapse they are astounded and usually only have one response...
