      It also means:

      1: one that booms

      2: one that joins a rush of settlers to a boom area

      3: a transient worker (such as a bridge builder)

      Boomer as an insult is a metaphor, not a term for a range of years.

          Yes, when used to describe an age range, not when used as an insult. The insult version has a different definition.

          Again, words can have different definitions based on context. Hell, the word Set has over 400 definitions.

          It’s ok to admit you’re wrong. Because you are wrong.
