By "like this" I assume anon means "this bad at raising their kids to be sane and decent people".

If anon's parents are boomers, wouldn't that make them at least thirty?

You're never too old to practice Standmaxxing™️!

Nono, anon IS a boomer

Yes, but that does require the assumption that a person who is standmaxxing does use the term boomer correctly.

Boomermaxxing

I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.

The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.

And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial

be me

kneelmaxxing at work

my coach tells me to stand up because the national anthem is starting

told him i can't because i'm kneelmaxxing

score 2-14 and get beaten out of the playoffs

why is the nfl like this?

1979 is solidly Gen X by any definition.

But yeah, oof.

TIL I've been Sitmaxxing my entire life. I never miss an opportunity.

Standmaxxing will be required at my funeral.

TIL there's a thing called standmaxing...

The term boomer is going to outlive boomers, so all you Gen X, millennials, etc get used to being called that.

At my funeral there will be no seats. Only other empty coffins i has rented for my special occasion. Everyone will get to lay in a coffin with me at the same time.

I love sitting so fucking much. 99% of my jobs have been on my feet for the whole day.

Its okay. Hope the people younger then me have fun however they can. Play safe yall, the world is a dangerous place.

It's ironic that wanting to use one's own brain makes someone a "boomer." I know not all baby boomers are as intellectually-lazy as the ones I grew up under, but considering that's one trait that I've seen a lot from that cohort, this is weird to see.

OOP should've made his stand fight his dad. Smh

You can -maxx pretty much anything nowadays. I'm currently replymaxxing

It's because boomer != baby boomer. It's basically the same term as fogie or old-timer. Just the youths dismissive perjorative for older generations.

We all had one.

Boomer, used as a pejorative term, doesn't mean someone born between 1946 and 1964. It never has.

It's always been a dismissive term for an older person with outdated ideas. Every young generation has one.

Good ol’ religion. Compliance or being beaten. Like if god would actually give a shit if you stood.

No, it always has. Some dumb kids just thought that it meant "anyone over the age of thirty," which is dumb.

1980 here. I consider myself genx. I'm on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter. For me that's where millennial begins.

An entertaining thing to do is to give a *-maxxing individual additional opportunities to *. Then, if they do not take advantage of it, claim they are only *-averaging.

Anyway, I posted this zero seconds ago and I don't see a reply yet.

Bro wasn't standmaxxing, he was standgooning.

No, it hasn't. Boomer and Baby Boomer are two different things.

The fact that you can't accept the new lingo basically makes you a boomer.

The fact that you have zero understanding of etymology basically makes you a child.

The fact that boomer is derived from baby boomer doesn't mean they share a definition.

The fact that you don't understand that is concerning.

Ask your teacher how etymology works, kid.

So, because the N word is derived from the Spanish word for black, they mean the same thing, right?

I think you need to ask your teacher

Yes, it's a pejorative word for "black people." You're starting to understand!

Right, and boomer is a pejorative for old out of touch people because the baby boomers were the old people when it was coined, but it's not generation specific.

This is what the term is referring to. You're being Principal Skinner.

Slang and pejoratives don't typically follow strict etymology. They're more ephemeral.

Nope. A boomer is anybody older than you whom you disagree with, just like millennials are those younger than you who you disagree with and Gen Z are those younger than you who uses a social network you dislike.

No, it was generation specific, and some dumb kids didn't understand what it meant and just thought "haha mean word."

And you were so close to getting it! Keep trying, kid!

Nope, it's short for "baby boomer."

You already admitted that I'm right, you just haven't realized it yet.

The N word doesn't literally mean people with skin that is black. It means people with dark skin of African descent which is a much wider scope.

You put quotes around black. The word is a reference to a larger group, just like "boomer" is a reference to a group larger than people born between 1946-1964.

Boomer was derived from the term baby boomer, but they don't share a definition.

Ok boomer

Oof, your reading comprehension needs some work, too.

Tell you what, let's look to an authority.

4 : a person born during a baby boom : baby boomer

Huh, how about that.

Good luck in school tomorrow, kid.

I'm liedownmaxxing, not sleepmaxing, just liedownmaxxing.

According to sources, and by that I meam wikipedia, gen x is up to 1980. Me being born four months before that line is very young gen x or very old millennial. Considering how I started uni when I was 25 most of my contemporaries are millennials, so I kind if feel like that my self

Then I am squarly a gen x myself. So Masters of the Universe, GI Joe/Action Force and by a stretch TMNT

Nope, it's short for "baby boomer."

Hey everyone, this boomer doesn't understand jokes.

I saw some graffiti that simply read "DEATHMAXXING?" and I still think about that pretty regularly

I’m on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter

Please explain that to my genX parents who need to read some new books and watch some new shows...

Yep, that sounds familiar

You keep ignoring the fact that I specified "when used as a pejorative."

Conversely, I find in general anyone born before 1985 is more Gen X than millennial.
