Oregon Trail generation

Americans born during the Generation X and Generation Y (Millennial) overlap, generally 1977-1983. They can either be viewed as tail-end Generation Xers or very early Millennials, but some members prefer to be addressed as neither. Named after The Oregon Trail, an educational computer game fondly remembered by many born during these years. Also known as Xennials or Generation Catalano.

Person 1: "Are you a Millennial or Generation Xer?"
Person born in 1981: I'm part of the Oregon Trail generation.

General Lee

Is way cooler than Night Rider.

The Hasslehoff isn't cool enough to squeegee the windshield of the General Lee.

Microwave Generation

Describing our fascination with instant gratification. Cell phones, txt/sms messages, and email.

As members of the microwave generation we have become so impatient, we find ourselves standing in front of the microwave tapping our foot yelling "Come on 15 seconds!"

Generation Y

Educated dishwashers.

Parents told them to educate theirselves.

Employers told them to go f*** theirselves.

Now that's what Generation Y is about!

generationalize

To generalize against a generation.

Don't generationalize, not all millennials are entitled, spoiled children.

General studies

Most 16-18 year olds in the UK are forced to take this subject, but it isn't recognized by a lot of universities due to its incredible easiness (from personal experience, it is possible to get 93% without attending a single class, revising or even knowing what the exam is about). Serves to crush the confidence of students everywhere as they learn how to:

Read newspapers
Find the areas of surfaces
Form social opinions
Re-enforce work done two years ago for subjects which hold no interest

Also a nice source of income for examining boards.

1. "I wanted to go to my Further Maths lesson but I need to do some fucking General Studies speaking competition."

2. "Dude, she's easier than General Studies"

ninja turtle generation

Those born between years 1983-1990, not later, maybe a year or two earlier.

It's no wonder the rest of the world is so fucked up, they weren't born in the Ninja Turtle Generation.
