Chlöe Swabrick, who belongs to the Green Party, silenced a fellow member of the U.K. Parliament by saying, "OK, boomer" – a phrase adopted by millennials to call out people from the baby boomer generation.

From Urban dictionary...

When a baby boomer says some dumb shit and you can't even begin to explain why he's wrong because that would be deconstructing decades of misinformation and ignorance so you just brush it off and say okay.

That’s just his idea of coping with significant faux change. Less reality and more social fantasy.

^I think our "boom" period in the UK was from 1600-1700.?

Certainly, fatuous terminology from teh interweb doesn't really apply.

Well upon completion of my degree, I entered the UK job market in the midst of a post-war record figure for unemployment that still stands today.



And promptly fooked off to Switzerland.

Term boomer has nothing to do with us seppos ya wanker. It originated in the commonwealth.

The country is small but it's like the dudes in one village couldn't be arsed talking to dudes in the village next door, they all stayed home and in-bred, and all wound up talking their own garbled and idiosyncratic versions of English.

Haha a kiwi talking about in-breeding.

Complete bullshit for which you've supplied only bogus 'backup', the geographical origin of which you misjudged by over 18,000 miles.

And that was only for someone using the term, not coining it.

Advice: Stop digging.

Snubby get used to the fact,your whole country is based on the great British empire.

Well he's fugly as all hell so no self-respecting sheep would even touch him.

Sad to report it would be more like sheep rape.

Thought this might help sort things a bit but do carry on.

With U.S on 7th place it is a joke. There are loads of unmentioned European countries being a democracy before 1788..

These blokes sources certainly don't seem to be as good as their marinades.

The load of utter bollocks below has the US as the oldest democracy in the world.

The UK is fifth





It's a bit like their world series of baseball.

* The data goes back to 1800, so U.S. democracy can be considered at least 219 years old.
