Millennial is an alternative name for Generation Y.
A generation is generally agreed to be about twenty years: Baby Boomers (40s & 50s), Generation X (60s & 70s), Millennials (80s & 90s), Generation Z (00s & 10s).
The three main defining attributes that Millennials have, seem to be: firstly that they have grown up taking technology for granted, secondly that they have grown up in a world where there are no consequences for bad behavior and thirdly that they have been told they can do whatever they like in the world as there are no winners or losers.
The former meaning that they are first generation who spend more time inside than outside doing something constructive. Advancements in entertainment technology and (half arsed lazy parenting from Generation X parents) has meant Millennials have grown up in bedrooms with their own TVs, stereos, laptops and game consuls. this has made the threat of "I'll send you to your room" moot, as there is no place the Millennial would rather be.
The later is more serious; due to the continual growth and proliferation of the ridiculous concept of "Politically Correct", Millennials have grown up; not being spanked at home (in most cases), not receiving any real punishment at school and even in the criminal justice system receiving derisory sentences.
The last has created a generation of "Special Little Snowflakes", who seem to think they can do what ever they want and are prone to tantrums if they don't get their own way. university.

I see the Millennials are crying about Brexit, a bit rich considering most of them didn't even bother to vote.

A sublurb is an area that is neither; rural, urban, or even suburban.
Sublurbia offers the worst of all worlds; a scarsness of eminities, and little public transport, but a population density, far too high to offer any real peace or serenity.
A walk in sublurbia might take you down miles of leavy foot paths (heavily littered with; small, black, plastic bags, full of dog shit) but you would never be more than a few hundred yards from some sort of residence.
Expensive gated properties line the main roads, but there's always; a wrong turn, toe munching, inbreed council estates just round the corner, that only the locals know about.
Virginia Waters in Surrey, and Sandhurst in Berkshire are two good examples.

Although the other definitions make sense, I've always associated a different meaning to this term. Bullshit Baffles Brains is a military term, I first heard it in the army thirty years ago. Rather than an attempt to deceive a third party, it is a description of the way the officers (management) and procedures are so filled with unnecessary and pointless bullshit, that they defy all logic and the fact that our glorious leaders had totally bought into that bullshit.
They want use to parade for the combat exercise in our best uniforms and change into our battle gear once we get into the field, talk about bullshit baffles brains.

Originally dating back to at least the 1940s, an African American grammatical error, used to mean AWAKE, in a political sense.
Unheard of in the UK until the BLM movement spread over here in the late 2010s.
Then hijacked by middle class pseudo Socialists, as a virtue signal.
Now used as an insult, to point out just how moronic and out of touch those people are.
WOKE is like COOL, if you think you are, you're defiantly not.
