Example Sentences
- "Take away my right to try something you see as "unhealthy" (which is just Boomerspeak for "indecent") – and you're taking away the texture, the essence, of life itself."
- "Your grandparents probably told you not to burn your bridges. In Boomerspeak, that means not telling people off just for the sake of telling them off."
- "Many of these pieces had been around before, but as boomerspeak, they crystallized into a genre ripe for parody. Boomerspeak's canonical features include the dot dot dot, repeated commas, and the period at the end of a text message. It can also involve random mid-sentence capitalization, typing in all caps, double-spacing after a period, signing your name at the end of a text message, and confusion between the face with tears of joy emoji and the loudly crying emoji."
- "Essentially, the posts mimic "boomerspeak", or the way that baby boomers – defined as those born between the mid-1940s and the mid-1960s – are perceived to communicate online, combined with the often nonsensical and deliberately ironic memes so beloved of Gen-Z."
