Definition: (n.) The phenomenon where a boomer (a person typically born between 1946 and 1964) abruptly halts their movement—whether walking, driving, or entering a facility—to scan their surroundings, oblivious to the flow of people or traffic behind them, causing a bottleneck or disruption.
I was rushing to catch my flight, but got stuck behind a Boomer Dam at the airport entrance when a couple stopped dead in the doorway to check their tickets.
