I think it’s just the usurping of the word. Boomer has a technical meaning in demographics (the post war generation) but the word now seems to be used as a synonym for gammon.
an out of touch, opinionated, likely right wing person - so called due to resemblance angry, fat, white men may have to that type of pork when engaged about gen Z
I’m a Go player, of course I feel superior
I’m a Go player, of course I know how to properly rush B on de_dust2
In other words, gammon is an insulting epithet, which means that Boomer, in the usage you describe as a synonym, is also an insulting epithet.
Thanks for the update.
I think that’s right from phrases like “ok boomer” but maybe I should have said near synonym. In that I suspect most gammons are boomers but not all boomers gammons!
I’m a Go player, of course I like fine distinctions.
What does this even mean lol
Yeah, I’ve never heard “gammon” (except I think as a backgammon term? but I don’t play that, so it’s fuzzy in my memory), but from the definition given, it seemed somewhat overlapping but still quite different from how I’ve seen “boomer” used
This seems to apply to all OGS forum discussions lol
I’m a Go player, of course I think that a year has 361 days
Is that a new one? Because I thought it was sold.
Idk, I came at a weird time so nothing was happening, but it seemed to still be open (like I went inside and saw go boards out, but didn’t stay long)
It’s a sarcastic reference to a popular video game “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive”, which is often shortened to “CS:GO” and sometimes even just “GO” (such as in contexts where Counter-Strike, or first person shooter games, is implied).
The phrase “rush B on de_dust2” refers to the strategy of quickly concentrating force on an objective point marked with the letter “B” on a popular map known as “de_dust2”.
Ah. I sometimes use “rush X” in that sense, but I don’t play FPS games (me and my computer both suck at them, so it works out), so I missed the map reference
I’m a Go player, of course I know what a real Go board feels like. Unlike you who play online only.
Of course I should’ve known you’re talking about CS:GO.
“…but of course”
Boomer here, born in ’57
Baby boomers - Wikipedia says this:
Baby boomers, often shortened to boomers, are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X. The generation is often defined as people born from 1946 to 1964 during the mid-20th century baby boom.

I’m a Go player, of course I watched Hikaru no Go.
I’m a Go player, of course I hate Go.
