After A Lot Of Outrage, The Dictionary Destroys Any Claims Of ‘Boomer’ Being A Racial Slur

The relationship between Millennials and Baby Boomers has been tumultuous; they never seem to agree on anything. If you add Gen Z to the mix, things get even worse.

It's true that generational relations have always been strained, but this time it's far worse than anyone expected. It began when teens started replying with “Ok, Boomer” to any comment made by a clueless older person who made remarks about our modern world today, especially whenever they insisted on telling kids what exactly they were doing wrong in life.

Soon after that, this so-called "slur" started spreading rapidly, and many people began claiming that “Boomer” is a slur for a “minority group.”

Thankfully, Dictionary.com stepped in to clear up any confusion and proceeded to provide a formal definition of the word 'boomer.' Try harder next time, boomers.

Bye Boomer
