80's Baby 

Unfortunately, the term Eighties Babies was never heard prior to the the year 1980 and there fore cannot reference a group of people who were born prior to that era. In fact if you know the English language you would understand that 80's references a point in time and Baby references a stage of life, when you combine the two you get a person who was a "baby" during the "80's". If this term were coined in reference to people born in the 70's who were not "babies" in the 80's the term would be 80's people or 80's kids or hippie offspring. Aside from the baby boomers of the early 1940's, Eighties Babies were the only group of children that can be referenced by name and time period. If someone says 80's Baby you can be sure they were born during the 1980's baby boomers were born between 1941 and 1945 during the World War 2 period. Exact actual definition; he or she who was a baby in the eighties!

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
