This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"Boomer" is short for "baby boomer."

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.
