In the United States, at the time of writing, there are somewhere around 69 (nice) million Baby Boomers in the population.
They’ve gifted everyone with so much, and it’s time to celebrate that.
Specifically with these observations from whipper-snappers on Twitter.
15. Can you spare a dime
Wait, I say this too. Am I a boomer?
Boomers love saying "a quarter too" and "a quarter after"

Stop pretending you don’t have all the national wealth, grandpa.

11. Purple people eater
Ok but like…imagine if for some reason purple people started existing.
Look me in the eye and tell me that older generations would be cool with it and not UTTERLY lose their minds.
Boomers love saying “I don’t care if you’re purple”

I’ve heard it both ways so much I don’t even know which is right anymore.
Baby Boomers love saying “kitty-corner”

9. Bring the corn
I will never financially recover from this.
Boomers love saying some corny shit like "So what's the damage?" when given their bill in a restaurant

8. Need the drops
I think everyone above a certain age sort of thinks they’re a farmer.
Baby boomers love saying “oh, we NEEDED this rain.” Like really, Richard? You NEEDED this rain?

7. Rude dude
It’s not accidental if it’s premeditated.
Boomers love to say “I’m sorry I don’t mean to be rude,” and then continue being rude

6. Listen up
Ironically, it probably is.

5. Free for all
And every cashier laughs, because they’ve definitely never heard that before.
Boomers love to say”well I guess it’s free “ if their item isn’t ringing up.
