Boomerism 

Noun. A banal thought terminating cliche used by boomers and boomer sympathizers to convey the failed "conventional wisdom" of their generation. These cliche sayings are typical political or economic in nature and are refutable by hard real-world evidence.

The burden of evidence required to refute a "boomerism" is often substantial, requiring reference to the CPI (Consumer Price Index), Wage Index, or other economic data available on FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data).

Millennials and Zoomers are too busy working their jobs as senior economic analysts, program directors, or serving coffee to pay off students loans, to refute boomerisms.

None the less, entitled boomers feel obliged to be provided with hours of high valued consulting work, at no cost, to disprove them. Millennials and Zoomers have adopted a strategy of responding to boomerism with the much less costly "Ok Boomer".
Boomer: "Well hello there youngster, what are you doing?"

40 y/o balding senior management wage slave: "Doing my taxes. It looks like I might be able to pay off my student loans and mortgage by the time I'm 83."

Boomer: "I see you are eating avocado toast there! You know, if you ate less avocado toast, and lived in a shoe, you could be free of debt by now!"

Waitress: "Now that's a boomerism, if I ever heard one."

40 y/o balding senior management wage slave: "Ok, boomer."

Boomer: "STOP! Ok Boomer is the new N-word!"

Booveris 

Refers to a patient who presents as acutely awkward in social settings, resulting in twitching, banging on tables, hooting, rhythmic rocking and leg smacking in an almost Tourette's-like fashion. First audible symptom is a repetitive random vocalization, for example "Dirt dirt dirt" or "Beer beer beer". While vocalization subject matter is variable the vocalizations are commonly grouped in threes, and accompanied by specific body language, as if the speaker is making a particularly well defined point that defies argument(raised eyebrows, smug expression, eye contact). This can also be accompanied by inappropriate use of profanity, in particular in the presence of the very young or aged, hence the common misdiagnosis of Tourette's.

This condition is sometimes confused with mild Asperger's Syndrome or mild situational agoraphobia and is potentially sympathetic with OCD. Originally observed in Central Canada, with a brief outbreak in Eastern Canada, there is believed to be a tie with Latvia, perhaps due to immigration/emigration. It is not uncommon for Booveris to be treated by self-medication of intoxicants.

There is no clinical agreement if this condition is chromosomal, hereditary, viral, or bacterial.

Key to diagnosis is the patient's inability to prevent or even take note of the offensive/questionable behavior or, if attention is drawn to the behavior, for the patient to understand why the general pubic might be alarmed by the above noted behavior.
Greg: What's your problem?
Erik: There are too many people here I don't know.
Greg: You realize you're rocking back and forth and slapping your legs right?
Erik: Really? Oh "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" I think maybe it's "Shot! Shot! Shot!" time to go.
Matt: Wow, you're exhibiting classic Booveris symptoms, I thought you were going to see a specialist?
Erik: Sure sure sure, after this beer beer beer.

Boomerism 

An ideology which promotes the discrediting of ideas from any person or entity that disagrees with one's preconceived beliefs, regardless of their source's credibility. It is a common ideology among the "Baby Boomer" generation, born between 1946 and 1964, hence the title "Boomerism".
So many young people's ideas are shot down today without a second thought despite the fact that it will ultimately be their job to fix the issues created by the same group that is largely still in power; what a blatant display of Boomerism!
