Okay, then riddle me this: which shooter DOESN'T go boom?

Raging against new slang is just gonna make us more out of touch, and intensify the feeling of being old, so I just accept it and try to keep up.

NEVER! I choose to embrace my inner geriatric and complain about kids these days and their hippy-hop music.

Oh, I'm liking this take. Get ready for "Z Shooters" and "Alpha Shooters".

Get off my lawn and leave me to my prune juice.

It does roll off the tongue nicely, I have to admit.

It wasn't? This is what Wikipedia says:

"OK boomer" or "okay boomer" is a catchphrase and internet meme that has been used by members of the Millennial generation and Generation Z (born between the early 1980s and the early 2010s) to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers – people born in the two decades following World War II.

Who was it targeted at then?

Hey, at least it's shining.

I would love to see that take place, so sign me up for the Church of the Boomest Shooter. My only real concern is where do we go from boomest?

No, you're not. But I like you anyway.

Dammit! Upvoted with great begrudgement.

Oh, they're definitely better, no question. But by that definition, wouldn't that make them Boom Shooters?
