cable creep

The slow, monthly increase of cable television charges in amounts small enough for the customer to tend to ignore, but later result in significant overall increases.

A year ago, my cable bill was $88/month and now it's $117. I hate cable creep.

A few bucks in cable creep and now my bill is 30% higher than a year ago.

My monthly cable crept from $55 to $69 in less than one year.

Boomergang

A group of baby boomers, used in a social or derogatory way.

I can't wait for my 50th high school reunion; the whole boomergang will be there.

I didn't expect to see a large boomergang at the beer garden; the patrons there are usually younger and more lively.
