Personally, when someone replies to me with "Ok, Boomer." as if to dismiss my words with a new meme, I just say,
"Go F*%! yourself, Cuffy."
I mean, one good meme deserves another.
And the cuffy thing was more of a brilliant altercation between to mortal enemies played out over an epic 3 or 4 youtube clips, whilst the boomer one, is... so old....
lol see what I did there..

Almost 20 years of making fun of millennials and them being the source of the problem in the American work force and economy= Totally acceptable
Less than a year of a meme that say “ok boomer”= completely unacceptable ageism
Boy you guys can sure dish it out but can’t handle it back maybe if we give you back all the participation trophy’s it will be ok?
What? I mean, your post means... nothing.

this is such a specific post i can't help but feel it's a response to one person and something they said so like maybe you should consider either giving those of us outside your skull some context, or responding in an email to said person.
Or better yet, letting go of the weird and self-contradictory hyperbole about the name that has referred to your generation for literal decades without issue, and finding some better way to occupy the little time you have left on this earth.
ok boomer

I'm happy to oblige. I'm gen x. I'm so sick of being accused of being a boomer that I've basically just accepted that i'm a boomer. It's fine. I value the things my parents did and do, being hard, strong work leading to the american dream. that is what I want for myself. I want my hard word to mean something. I have a service history but it's immaterial to this argument. I've been engaged in armed conflict on behalf of the nation. It was eye-opening. I acknowledge that most people, and lets be fair, about 2% of the population serve in a combat role, and that low figure is a testament to how #ing awesome our society is! Less that 2 % have to serve a combat role. That is a success story. When 2 in a hundred are needed to maintain the national sovereignty. 1 in 50. Let it sink in. These are volunteers. 1 in 50. We have unprecedented freedom because we nutballs seem to want to put ourselves in harms way. Because we love you and we love this country

Actually 1% of the population is in the military and only 1% of them see combat. Even in WWII only about 5% saw serious combat.

Then your assertion is that one percent of one percent "actually saw combat."
You sad #ing tool.
I'd absolutely love to show you the things I've seen
I'd love to drag your ass back into a bunker while we received indirect fire
I'd love to see your face, treating my friends for massive blood loss, knowing they won't make it.
Save it. Your platitudes are telling and damning. You don't know what the # you're talking about.

So I'm a boomer and over 1/2 the people who work for me at 1/2 my age can not pass a Goverment medical test to work as a contractor overseas... It is sad I pass it with flying colors and someone 30ish can't. Age isn't everything...
