Greatest Generation 

The generation of men and women who selflessly served in the armed forces of America during WW2 and helped stop the tide of Nazi and Japanese aggression. Alot better than today's generation of pacifist pussies and terrorist appeasers. With the exception of those in the armed forces now. God Bless them.
The Greatest Generation is sadly fading away, day by day. The memorial dedicated to their service to their country will be the most beautiful this country ever built.

Greatest Generation 

A generation of western guys who fought one battle when they were teenagers and endlessly bragged about it for the rest of their lives while their entire civilization fell to pieces around them.
I took a boat over to Europe and shot a German. Then I bragged about being able to make my bed so right you could bounce a quarter off it while leftist subversives turned my country into a third world, gay pride, drag queen story time nightmare. I'm the greatest generation!

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
