A fictitious rank for someone who believes that they are a genius military leader (or at least more competent than their actual military leaders), due specifically to their lower-level military experience.
Typically found among former soldiers who end up in positions of authority, and believe that their being in the army once, and being from the rank and file and not an officer, makes them more qualified to make big decisions than actual officers, despite said officers potentially having made such big decisions for many years, but who were obviously out of touch because they'd started their careers as officers and had spent most of their time behind desks.
Similar to the armchair general, but with the caveat of even the tiniest amount of military service instantly making them more qualified than other armchair generals.

"And so Hitler the Corporal-General, remembering his time as a corporal in the trenches of the Western Front, declared that putting more resources into producing flamethrowers would win the war, much to the chagrin of his generals, who had instead been trying to get him to allocate more divisions to repel the allied invasion of Sicily."

Describes mostly older generations (boomers and older) who have difficulties adapting to modern society with its changing values, new technology and younger generations.
Origin:
Borrowed from German "Wellblech-Generation" (literally: corrugated-sheet-generation)
While boomers still tend to name millennials "generation Y" (modest reference to themselves), millennials fought back, and renamed the older generations.
It refers to a parable about the difference between the generations: "While we millennials and younger build real houses, they boomers and older still build theirs with corrugated sheets only."

You're so outdated, you clearly belong to the corrugated-sheet-generation.
Why would you not care about others? That's totally corrugated sheet like.

General is when you have special time! If ya catch my drift *wink*, you also do it when your not muted in the general voice channel in discord.
Now, let's say that your mom walks in the room and you hide the evidence fast enough, she asks "What are you doing?" you can say "General!" instead of "i beat my meat mother."
