Here We Go: ‘Ok Boomer’ Now Considered Offensive

The popular phrase “Ok, Boomer,” is now considered offensive, at least to the University of Miami.

Barbara Gutierrez, the university’s associate director of communications and public relations, recently published an article on the school’s website decrying the use of the phrase, saying it was “dismissive” and that “older folks” may see it as a “manifestation of polarization and intolerance for diverse views.” Gutierrez added that the remark is often used by “the younger generation” to show that their elders are “out of touch, technologically impaired, and politically old-fashioned.”
