pre-existing iPad kids
Children born after the widespread integration of personal devices, particularly tablets, into everyday life. These kids often have different developmental experiences compared to those who grew up without being surrounded by technology from infancy, leading to distinct social, cognitive, and behavioral traits.
My little brother might struggle with social skills because he’s among these "pre-existing iPad kids", too used to interacting with screens instead of people.

Olive Garden customer
"Olive Garden customer" is a slang term for "a person who has excessive screen time every day". Used in a similar way to the term "iPad kid", this slang term is named after a meme where someone has far more screen time on the Olive Garden app compared to any other app on his phone.
Ever since he discovered that Olive Garden app, he's turned into quite the Olive Garden customer — more screen time there than anywhere else!

2000's born child
The children who, during their early years, felt that 1991 and 2008 were separated by multiple decades, even though these years are actually just 17 years apart. This perception stems from their limited understanding of time and the significant cultural differences between those years.
As a 2000's born child, I remember thinking that everything from the '90s felt like ancient history, even though it was only a few years before I was born!
