Generational Shower

When a father takes his son into the shower with him, and the son sees his father's dick and remembers it forever. A method of making your son always think you are better than him.
I can't fight my dad, when I was 5 we took a generational shower and I know he is more man than me.

Generation Beta

According to social researcher Mark McCrindle in his book 'The ABC of XYZ: Understanding the Global Generations' (www.mccrindle.com.au), this is what we can expect the next generation to be called. Given the fact that the generational span has contracted significantly from 20-25 years to 15 years, he also predicts that the next generation is due to begin in 2010.
So, why 'Beta'? With generational analysis having moved from a stage of foundation to consolidation, a more predictable labelling system is being formed. There being consensus on the alphabetised theme of Generations X, Y and Z, it is most likely that the next generation will be Generation Alpha (the first letter of the Greek alphabet). This nomenclature of moving to the Greek alphabet after exhausting the Latin one (A, B, C, D etc), has a long history with meteorologists. In fact, scientists of all disciplines use the Greek alphabet as a labelling sequence and so it looks likely that the sociologists will follow this trend with the generations too.

Fourth Generation Warfare

The generations of warfare are:

* 1st Generation: tactics of line and column; which developed in the age of the smoothbore musket.

* 2nd Generation: tactics of linear fire and movement, with reliance on indirect fire.

* 3rd Generation: tactics of infiltration to bypass and collapse the enemy's combat forces rather than seeking to close with and destroy them; and defense in depth.

Fourth Generation Warfare is asymmetricall warfare which uses traditionally non-military means to achieve military objectives.

Common types of Fourth Generation Warfare are

1. Propaganda or mass media manipulation e.g. Pallywood
2. Economic or financial warfare e.g. 1970's Arab oil embargo, sanctions, attempting to weaken a countrie's currency.
3. Lawfare e.g. international "law"
4. Cyber warfare e.g. Hacking an enemy's computer networks
China is using Fourth Generation Warfare when it launches thousands of cyber attacks against America's department of defense networks on a daily basis.

My Generation

The quintessential Who song. It was one of the first songs to have a fucking badass bass solo, and the stuttering vocals are extremely distinctive (I think that they were that way because the Who were a mod band at this time, and the mods were always going on speed, which makes you stutter, but again I'm not sure about this). Without the Who, rock would not be the same. My Generation rocks harder than all this modern pop shit that corporations pull out of their ass combined. It's one of those songs that people will still be listening to in 400 years (along with the rest of the Who because they were fucking legendary) I just wish I could relate to the song...
Most memorably, the Who destroyed their set after playing this song at the Monterrey Pop festival in 1967. they became famous for instrument destruction after that, especially with this song
People try to put us d-down (talkin bout my generation)
just because we g-get around (talkin bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (talkin bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (talkin bout my generation)

Generation Z

The earliest children of Generation Z are those born in and after 1990 and are often the children of generation X. They are unique as they have grown up with the internet. This generation is very networked with social networks and many means of communication and means of entertainment at their finger tips such as Cell Phones, iPod, Facebook, YouTube and IM. Digital networking and sharing is common and many have not known a time without the internet and are often referred to as digital natives.
