Anybody ever hear the expression "OK Boomer"

chollagardens
Did not hear about it until today. Also heard the expression "boomer remover". Both expressions are said to be very negative about the baby boomers. I'm wondering how widespread the expressions are.

    Never heard such. When I saw the title, I thought it was something about an Okie.

    I first read about it on the internet about a month or so ago. Haven't heard it in regular conversation and my wife and I work with 400 other people, most of them millennial's.

    Had a kid tell me that a year or so ago when I was explaining the finer points of tile setting and why it was important that things be as perfect as humanly possible.   I believe my reaction to his comment may have scared him somewhat...  Friggin' snowflake dweeb.

    Heh, shows what you know. My parents aren't boomers and neither were theirs.

    I've heard the "Boomer Remover" phrase recently. The teens/twenty-somethings are all using it as the nickname for COVID-19, laughing it up as they continue about their normal "social routine,"  I actually overheard two college-age girls in the grocery store use the term yesterday. They proceeded to have a conversation in the check-out line about how they like their grandparents, but maybe its time to "let them go".......and hope they leave a lot of money for the girls. They said COVID-19 is actually a "blessing from nature," and how we need something like this to "cut out the dead wood of society" (i.e. older folks). I finally couldn't take it, and chimed in that THEY are the dead wood of society, before I moved to another line.

    They more I deal with these idiots, the more I am convinced the U.S. is doomed.

    One of the less attractive features of growing old is being told what to do by children.

    My nephew (now my boss) called me boomer. Odd. He was on an SSN, and I was on a CVG.


    he should have known better.

    My youngest daughter said this to me awhile back thinking she was being cute about it.  The look I gave her I think convinced her she bit off more then she could chew... :D

    It is a pejorative used by millennials.  I see it on the gun groups all the time on facebook.  Anytime someone with any age dare disagree with a millennial they are shouted down as boomer or fudd.

    Funny, every succeeding generation likely has thought that way about the next.

    Boomers own bang bangs.  Do not mess with boomers.

    There’s going to be another generation of boomers born this winter. Think about it.

    Hopefully most of us boomers have a sense of humor about this.
    Something is only offensive if the receiver takes an offense.

    I know it is kind of dark, but the first time I heard 'Boomer Remover' in reference to the Covid-19 virus, I enjoyed it.  

    Government stepped in and stopped most vaping products targeted at the younger generations, or we could all be joking about the Millennial Massacre even today.

    OH how RESPECTFUL!  (Church Lady Voice)  I can lay it back on them jokingly just by asking whoever says it to PULL MY FINGER!
