Boomertude

Pronunciation: boo-mer-tood
A portmanteau of "boomer" and "attitude," referring to exaggerated complaints about modern inconveniences or the expectation that long-standing social norms should continue to apply without question - often associated with members of the Baby Boomer generation.

Victims of boomertude may choose to respond with, "Ok, Boomer".

The systematic extermination of all boomers to protect the planet from their destructive behaviors. Some have said that Coronavirus Covid-19 is Earth's first attempt at the boomercide as it has a high mortality rate for boomers but essentially nobody else.

boomercode 

Shitty code written by the previous generations of programmers (typically Boomers) that did nothing but produce technical debt for millenials and Gen Z programmers to clean up, thus killing the thrill and joy they expect to find based off of several popular YouTube programmers chronicling their lives at more modern tech companies. Most often you will find this regards developers who were huge advocates of a specific vendor that is notorious for pushing sub-par software packages on the industry for profit (e.g. Microsoft, Oracle, IBM).

Typically stacks filled with boomercode feature a wide set of redundant infrastructure, overengineering, technical debt and obscure proprietary softwares with no real value, such as EDI. The authors of such code typically also mock modern web standards and design practices. All while being unable to give a coherent explanation of their design choices.

50% of the transaction fees paid are likely because of boomercode.
Recruiter: Hey, I've got this awesome job, they're willing to pay relocation fees and triple your salary.
Modern Developer: Sure, what kind of technology are we talking about?
Recruiter: You'll love it, IBM Informix+Oracle, super legacy ASPX, 4gl, a little COBOL. Lots of WCF. 80% of the business logic written in PL/SQL
Modern Developer: So boomercode

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
