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.

    "Boomer" is short for "baby boomer."

    Yes, when used to describe an age range, not when used as an insult. The insult version has a different definition.

    Again, words can have different definitions based on context. Hell, the word Set has over 400 definitions.

    It's ok to admit you're wrong. Because you are wrong.

    Thank you for being an good example of a boomer. Unwilling to acknowledge the fact that language is fluid.
