You know, it occurs to me that it’s actually an intriguing linguistic question: How and why is “Ok Boomer” perceived as insulting? I mean, seriously—what is the insult?

(I’m honestly curious if people all perceive it as the same thing, or if it’s people projecting their own different interpretations onto it.)

It’s an implied dismissal.
