    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.
