boomer fever

An agitated reaction to the new generations unacceptance of the rules you follow strictly

I skipped the line at the gas station and an old man got out and pointed at the long line and started getting boomer fever.

Boomer management

Now that boomers are becoming elderly, we now find ourselves having to manage them, their needs, and sometimes their behavior. Some Boomers have less tendency towards mental health treatment and self-analysis than younger generations and put that on us. Some also complain about "how bad they had it" despite a much better cost of living and largely being able to buy houses in their 20's.

Wow the boomer management of my mom has gone way up lately, since yelled at the nurse and she's beefing with my aunt.

boomerbate

To engage in a group conversation, typically among Baby Boomers, where participants endlessly ramble, interrupt, and validate each other’s tangential or nostalgic musings without achieving meaningful discussion or resolution. Often characterized by excessive self-satisfaction and a lack of listening.

“Karen and Marge can’t help but boomerbate for hours with anyone who will listen.”

"That church council meeting was a total waste of time—they just sat around boomerbating for two hours about 'how things ought to be.'"

boomerasking

A 21st-century way to describe a conversational faux pas as old as time. "Boomerasking" - a play on boomerang - is the habit of asking questions of your interlocutor in the naked hope of having the same question asked in return.

For instance, asking a colleague "Are you going on holiday this year?" while cueing up a lengthy monologue on your own travel plans when they inevitably ask: "And you?".
This is a Boomerasking example

Boomer Necking

When you are playing a video game particularly an FPS and you're leaning forward so much trying to spot enemies you look like a boomer reading an email. Could be as much as 6 inches away from the screen just trying to figure out if an enemy is there or not. This term originated playing Hell Let Loose and other tactical shooters where the engagement ranges are very long and enemy players can sometimes be just a handful of pixels.

I'm boomer necking this ridge so hard right now, if any one pixel moves I can take a shot.

Bro I can't stop boomer necking this angle, my back is actually getting sore lol.

- Is that a tank?

- No, I've been boomer necking that position it's already destroyed.

Boomer Roomer

When an old person tells stories that sound fictional, especially when about their younger years.

Jesse: "Grandpa said that when he was a kid, they had to walk to and from school uphill, both ways."
Tim: "Yeah, that sounds like a boomer roomer"

Boomer Meme

A meme that is multiple years old as well as the format of the meme. Usually it's meme that you have seen about 5 years ago but your grandma just discovered what memes are.

That's what we call a Boomer meme because its format and origin is literally multiple years old
