boo-mehr-ing
Verb:
To overreact irrationally to a situation and attempt to justify behaviour with logical fallacies ('Appeal to Ignorance' being a popular choice).
Actions are often the frustrations of baby boomers, directed towards millennials, usually with the intention of asserting dominance and often the result of an undiagnosed personality disorder combined with an inferiority complex.
Extreme boomering often results in the victim, who has just been blindsided, being labelled as lazy, entitled or a 'bludger'. The victim is usually subject to an alcohol-fuelled surprise interrogation about why they do not own a property, aren't married or raising children by their late-20s. In the rare event that the gen X or gen Y victim does fulfil the previously stated criteria, the boomer will likely resort to inducing guilt, commence tantrum, break something, fall asleep and wake up the next morning with no recollection of the event.

1. "Dad is boomering again. I got my nose pierced on the weekend and before he had even seen it, he was screaming down the phone, telling me that I'm going to be fired from my job as a graphic designer that I've held for nearly four years. I think he's basing it on something he saw about corporate uniform policies on 'A Current Affair'. He says he's going to rip it out when he gets home and that I had better be ready."
2. "Mum got home from work today and she was boomering on about how much she hates her job now. She's just mad because she doesn't know how to use a computer and she's about to get the arse. What does she expect? She still uses a Nokia 3310, carries a cheque book and pays her bills at Australia Post."
3. "My parents are boomering hard this week, I have done four, 12-hour, graveyard shifts at work this week. I had managed to get about five hours sleep after last night's shift and Dad hammers on the bedroom door. Yelling at me to get up, that it's Saturday and I need to get up and mow the lawn. My unemployed younger sister could have done it at any point this week but it seems that the boomers didn't think to ask her. If I don't do it, I will almost definitely get a lecture on how lazy they think I am."

Short for "Baby Boomer"...
A "Baby Boomer" is an adult human within the age range of 60 to 80 years old, "Baby boomers" are the generation which preceded "Gen X"...
"Boomer" is most commonly used by members of the "Millennial" generation, usually to INCORRECTLY refer to their parents whom they are rude to, disrespectful of, & do not appreciate for no legitimate reason at all...
Whether used incorrectly to refer to their parents, or correctly to refer to their grandparents, the term "Boomer", when used by a "millennial", is almost always followed by unethical, immoral derogatory slurs intended to express intolerance & disrespect for them....
THAT is the PROPER, ACCURATE "Urban" definition of the term "Boomer"...
(& No, I am NOT a "Boomer", I am just NOT a spoiled, self entitled, punk, ingrate is all.)

(common incorrect usage example) "I HATE my "Boomer" parents & their "8o's Rock" & their doing everything they could have to make my childhood a utopia I never appreciated because I deserved so much more."
(Rare correct usage example) "I know nothing at all about "Boomers" because my grandparents are old & inferior to me so I don't care about them, but I do somehow blame them for how much my life sucks."

A behaviour that can easily be recognized by the amount of cringe, the people suffering from this behavior, is posting about their hate for technology online, often packaged into a painfully ironic or downright expected meme format (you'll know it when you see it).
The only known cause of this behaviour is mortality salience, which is why all old people and people who discuss politics with anime profile pictures are boomers.

"Damn, Jane, did you see the cringe vaccine song that Sally, from 10th grade, posted on her TikTok yesterday? I guess the pandemic turned her into a total boomer."
"Dude, stop saying cringe political stuff, you're such a fucking boomer."

Boomer is a derogatory term used mainly by millennials to disparage people who actually worked to get what they wanted, instead of crying in their entitled rage. A common response when millennials find that they will actually have to work, pay, or function in a society instead of staring at their phones in their parents basement.
Those Boomers know nothing about how the real world works. (Statement made by a millennial wearing a che guevara shirt talking about the middle-east to a former U.S. Soldier as he begins to lecture.)
