boomerbate

To engage in a group conversation, typically among Baby Boomers, where participants endlessly ramble, interrupt, and validate each other’s tangential or nostalgic musings without achieving meaningful discussion or resolution. Often characterized by excessive self-satisfaction and a lack of listening.
“Karen and Marge can’t help but boomerbate for hours with anyone who will listen.”

"That church council meeting was a total waste of time—they just sat around boomerbating for two hours about 'how things ought to be.'"
