Austin, Texas

A once quiet, laid-back, friendly small Texas city populated mainly by native Texans and UT students. A very attractive and pleasant place, full of culture, great food, a great music scene, and nonstop nightlife, but a climate of brutal summers lasting 6 months out of the year and bipolar winters that can be anywhere from 10-90 degrees. Until the 1970’s, many people outside the south commonly known as “Yankees”, decided to move there and kept their personalities and culture of perceived unfriendliness, hostility, and indifference. And for the past 20-30 years, it has now become a very progressive city full of culture and pretentiousness, but now an overcrowded and overpriced cesspool with nonstop traffic from 5:00 a.m to 1:00 a.m. and middle-classes flocking to Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Leander on the north side and Buda and Manchaca on the south side. Westlake Hills remains the upper middle class white flight area it has been since the 1970’s.

I’m from Austin, Texas. I’m a UT graduate with a doctorate degree in philosophy, a vegan that loves beyond sausage hot dogs with Sriracha, wants a sterile, politically correct society, and far left socialist. Drive up the prices of homes to make the place more desirable! Now I’m going to work at the vegan restaurant I work at waiting tables so I can pay my $3000 a month rent on a 1 room apartment downtown!

Generation X

The smallest, most overlooked, neglected, and forgotten generation in the 20th century. All of them as of this writing are between 40 and 60 years old and their children are mostly late-wave Millennials and early wave Z’ers. The core X’ers were children in the 1970’s and teenagers in the 1980’s. They were the most cynical and self-sufficient growing up and the last generation raised without political correctness, overprotective parents, stranger danger, mollycoddling, and homosexuality unacceptable in most of American society. They were the first generation to become tech-savvy and enjoy music videos on MTV.To this day, few of them are running society and the Baby Boomers are still dominating the corporate and political landscape despite being of retirement age.

Mike’s a Generation X’er. He was born in 1970, wore Izod shirts growing up, and favorite music groups are Metallica and Nirvana.

OK Boomer

A very dismissive and tired catchphrase only a year old used on social media with memes by the unsocial and smartphone-addicted Generation Z that have no interest in associating with or listening to old people (over 40) or how things used to be, even though today’s Boomers are all between 60 and 80 today. The phrase has been a success at offending older folks on social media wanting their voices heard and respect.

Boomer: When I was growing up, we were outside all day. We drank out of the water hose, rode our bikes all over the neighborhood, and didn’t come home until the street lights came on.

Z’er: OK Boomer!

It Is What It Is

A cop out phrase many people use to describe a situation, place, or thing they think have no control over and trying to change things or people’s minds about it is useless.

Detroit is a dangerous city and San Francisco is an expensive place to live. It is what it is!

Middle Class

A living standard some 75% of Americans think they’re at, but it’s a relevant term. In terms of income, some are college educated people with professional white-collar jobs that are single that live in simple one bedroom apartments, but many tradesman that barely finished high school that have families live in a comfortable home in the suburbs, but can’t afford much more than a mortgage and enough food to eat. And you have union tradesmen making more money than accountants and engineers, but most of them don’t live at the same level because of their mentality. In reality, the middle class are college-educated, work white-collar occupations above a secretary or bank clerk, but not physicians or attorney’s, live in a tract home in the suburbs, two cars usually at least one an SUV or Minivan, have a pedigree dog, favorite restaurants are Starbucks, Red Robin, or Chili’s, their kids are highly monitored and in at least one extracuricular activity, their church is usually anything but Roman Catholic, Hardshell Baptist, or Pentecostal, and vacations at least once a year, usually places like Disney World. Many living in mountain climates enjoy skiing or snowboarding in their leisure time and coastal climates the beach.

They are a middle class family. He’s a project manager and his wife a school teacher. Their kids all get good grades and enrolled in soccer. Their home is a two story 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath with a playroom and over 3,000 square feet.

Yankee

A term many native Texans and southerners regardless of background use to describe people mostly from the upper Midwest and especially the northeast, usually Maryland and above. The western half of the United States, even far north states like Montana, Washington, and Alaska, are rarely taken into consideration because of their frontier nature and lack of accents. To Texans and southerners, Yankees are viewed as unfriendly, shrewd, indifferent, uppity, blunt, and a threat to their genial, warm, welcoming, and down home culture, which many Yankees view as intruding, a threat to privacy, and fake. Many well to do Yankees have migrated to Florida and Texas as retirement havens.

Old School

A term used by many young people and liberal older people use to describe people over 50 with a stern or formidable personality that believe in harsh discipline and no coddling thinking that being that way will produce a good citizen and a better person. Many old school men believe in hard work for success, women that are not housewives should work only in occupations such as teaching, secretarial work, or nursing, children need to be put in their place and not part of adult conversation, smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol is okay, but marijuana is horrible, and that making a man out of a young boy is not having a deep conversation followed by hugs or tears.
