I've noticed a few of those annoying things the kiddies say nowadays, but I've picked some of them up myself. Found myself saying, "True that," until my d-i-l pointed it out in a way that made it clear she was sick and tired of hearing it.

9. Many folks here love to stereotype. Let me see...southerners probably the number one
target for stereotyping, but then there are baby boomers, Christians, people who own guns, people who live in the country, people who drive pick-ups, people who drive BMWs, vegans, meat eaters, home schoolers, private schoolers, men, women...oh, the list is long and varied.

37. This board has a very "get off my lawn" vibe to it
I'm a token non boomer on this board. If I had to guess, there's a lot of people who would otherwise post here who don't because of this. I almost feel the need to apologize for being born in the 80s instead of the 50s.
The Democratic Party needs to open up for all generations (judging by candidate recruitment for this cycle, they have), as do places like this. There was a poster here who called Run For Something (a group who's goal is to elect a bench of younger Democrats who understand the issues young people are facing) to state/local offices ageist. IMO that's like calling EMILY's list sexist because they don't support male candidates.

51. Outgroup Homogeneity Effect:
"The tendency to view an outgroup as homogenous, or as “all the same,” whereas the ingroup is seen as more heterogeneous or varied."
AKA, prejudice.
I live in the country and suspect I have been lumped into the "toothless ignorant hillbilly" cohort by urbane passers-through.

41. You mean like we don't stereotype Boomers?
We must not pick on the millennials, because they are our future. Just ask David Camera-Hogg. True that.

16. This one is very subtle and I have noticed it
because it affects my last name.
Losing the t sound in the middle of a two syllable word if there is a vowel before and after the t.
Nu--er Bu--er
Fa--un (fatten)
Co--un
It drives me crazy!!!!
I do volunteer work at an animal shelter and had to hear the young'uns talk about the "ki-ens" all the time.
Fun thread. I'd rather see them pick at each other than read more about Trump and The Deplorables right now.
