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.

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 Hands

adj./noun
