Since you used it: Where'd this one pop up from? I've been seeing "boomer" increasingly used in that manner around the internet for about the past six months or so. I assume it started as push-back from millennials who're presumably tired of their own generational designation being used as an insult but correct me if I'm mistaken in that assumption. Since I'm a generation X-er (aka the generation everyone else seems to forget about) I suppose that means I can be annoyed with both boomers and millennials at the same time. On a similar note, I haven't seen any catchy terms coined yet for today's young children.
