Column: We officially sucked all the fun out of 'OK, Boomer.' This is why we can't have nice things.

That didn't take long. "OK, Boomer" went from a fun, harmless-even-though-it-stings-a-bit phrase to an overthought, hyperanalyzed, "declaration of intergenerational war" (Maureen Dowd's words, not mine) in a week flat. The saying started out as a clever, if biting, retort delivered by Generation Z in response to the lame directives/opinions/hand wringings of pretty much anyone over 30.
