Snappy responses to "OK boomer"

@Procrustus

Do we need a snappy response? Has anyone actually heard that phrase in real life?

Why can you only reply in real life?

I, for one, spend hours of time thinking up rebuttals to things that I’m imagining people will someday say to me

And all my rebuttals are always sick burns that land perfectly.

Internet meme:

Luddite: “You Industrial Agers are ruining society!”

Young person: “OK Loomer”

Now that’s funny!

I’ve never heard that phrase before.

OK is the standard mail abbreviation for Oklahoma. And when you think boom in relation to Oklahoma you think of three different things:

1. The Oklahoma land rush:

“Boomers” is the name given to settlers in the Southern United States who attempted to enter the Unassigned Lands in what is now the state of Oklahoma in 1879, prior to President Grover Cleveland opening them to settlement by signing the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889 on March 2, 1889.[1] The Sooners, settlers who entered the Unassigned Lands just prior to the April 22, 1889 official opening, were preceded by Boomers by a decade.

2. The oil boom there.

But I expect the most common is the third: There is a university there and it has a football team

“Boomer Sooner” is the fight song for the University of Oklahoma (OU). The lyrics were written in 1905 by Arthur M. Alden, an OU student and son of a local jeweler in Norman.

Suicide boomers - when did they start? Isn’t everyone wearing an explosive vest a would-be suicide boomer?

“Whatever, Tide-Pod”

[Sigene]

you all are missing the opportunity.

Boomers just need to embrace the usage as their own and start pre-emptively remarking to Millennials.
“Ok, Boomer!”

Nothing makes something become unattractive like adoption by the older targeted generation.

My mind is trying to turn this into a cartoon. Bad mind.

Would a boomer wear a vest? Explosive bell-bottoms, maybe. Although that’s dated. What would a suicide boomer wear?

I was okay, Boomered the other day. I responded, “Dude, I’m Gen-x. My only hero who didn’t OD on heroin or kill himself was Mr Rogers. We’re nihilistic as hell, and we’ll destroy the world just to make a point.”

I’m stealing this.

So, I guess “I gotcha boomer right here, punk” is a no-go?

FWIW, I’m Gen-X (though I identify as a Baby Buster).

I should point out my son and I were messing around with each other.

I’m a zoomer not a boomer, you my young friend are Gen Z, consider this your daily affirmation in lieu of a trophy. get moving!

Talk to the hand.
I find it funny. I can handle their angst and disgust or amusement directed my generation. I felt the same way at their age.

I recently Boomered a fellow Boomer who didn’t know what Bluetooth is.

My children informed me today that my move in this game is “OK Zoomer”

(There are no actual boomers in this house, but whatevs)

@Ludovic

It could be intentionally misinterpreting that “boomer” implies that they served on a nuclear sub, and the response would then inquire as to where the other person served.

@naita

Unless you were trying to imply their mom is a Ballistic Missile Submarine, in which case I have to ask “WTF is wrong with you?!”

“OK Boomer”

launch a ballistic missile at them

Pretty snappy

[Ashtura]

OK Skippy?

But my real response would probably be “I’m gen-x, moron.”
