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!

Get the OK Boomer mug.One of the most misunderstood people in the working world, from a white-collar workers point of view. Many are mechanics, electricians, and other technicians making $30-$40 an hour for jobs that most non-union employees would otherwise pay only half that much. Many union employers are those that reel you in and just let you go during the probationary period, even if you prove yourself hardworking and competent, but will keep the lazy and incompetent, just because they are friends with management or well-liked. If you have a blue-collar trade or skill, want to make a good wage, just want to put in a good 8 hours work a day, and no intention of trying to climb the corporate ladder, a union job is well-suited for you. And yes, many union workers are lazy shitbags that take numerous breaks and complain about everything, but there are many others that are honest, hardworking, and dedicated to their jobs. The union reps, with the backup of politicians and the mafia, are the ones who keep things going for the common working man. Many Republicans and conservatives dislike unions because they believe good money should be earned though merit and hard work and that anybody that does not have a college degree and works a skilled trade deserves just enough money to keep themselves fed and a roof over their head

Get the Union mug.The real world of employment. White-collar workers in the private sector are usually either self-serving pricks that exploit subordinates or office drones that just try to go about their business and suck it up. And the blue-collar workers are those that break their backs working for slave wages just so they can pay their bills and put food on the table. Politics are rampant with most private sector companies that only take care of those that are friends of the boss or management.

pimped

Get the pimped mug.A small town of about 15,000 located some 40 miles north of Anchorage. If you take away the surrounding snow-capped mountains, it's as if you're in a small town in the Midwestern United States. It's the cheapest place to own a home in the state, but there is a sales tax. The vibe of the town and people is rather sleazy; most of the population are blue-collar in their living conditions and mentality. Many spacious homes with potential to be nice and well-kept have appliances outside and cars propped up on concrete blocks. Drug deals and manufacturing are commonplace, especially methamphetamine. A good quarter of the population or more work on the North Slope and many others commute to Anchorage to work.

Get the Wasilla, Alaska mug.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.
