boomersplaining

When baby boomers use their own, often outdated, personal experience to talk down on younger people, especially millennials.

Person A: "Dang, it's tough to afford college, land a job, and buy a house."

Person B: "Stop complaining, when I was your age, I worked a summer job to pay for college! Stop eating avocado toast and you might be able to afford a house!"

Person A: "Uh, thanks for boomersplaining but things are different today."

Boomersplain

When someone over explains and speaks down to a younger generation. Does not have to involve a boomer.

Boomer: When I was a kid, we went outside to have fun- Oh, you probably don't even know what that is. It's what you'd see if you ever pulled your head out of your phone!
Gen Z: Yeah Carol, stop boomersplaining, I obviously fucking know what outside is.
