THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BABY BOOMERS

Born in the 1950s, the Baby Boom generation was the last to be taught
Figurative Language! Today in 2022, those quaint, old adages, proverbs, idioms
and other colorful expressions are used for more sinister purposes.
While Gens X, Y, and Z are being fed the literal language learned in school,
clever figurative linguists are using this ancient, coded language to confuse,
propagandize and provoke younger generations into the state of learned
helplessness.

To know your Boomer, know what they’re talking about figuratively!!!
With hyperbole, we can make a mountain out of a molehill
They don’t know that the world is their oyster.
The Critical Race theory is the elephant in the room.
Doesn’t climate change just get your goat?!
To stay on top of Generation Z, you got’ta be a good horse trader.
We’ll take over state legislatures and kill two birds with one stone.
A wildcat strike disrupts the bottom line.
Make your business into a cash cow.

Confuse them; but don't let the cat out of the bag. Capitalism is a
sacred cow.

When the market dictates, offer discounts that are chicken feed.
When asked about Civil Rights, clam up.
