Why do people think it's stupid to call shrooms "boomers?"
    #8647050 - 07/17/08 01:32 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

It's a very appropriate slang.

boom: grow vigorously; "The deer population in this town is thriving"; "business is booming" [baby boomers]

I imagine cultivators came up with the slang, from observing how they grow. I like it; it's cool.

Most people think it sounds dumb.  You can say it if you want but it'll just create negative first impressions and whatnot.  I just call em mushrooms, even shrooms is pushing it for me.

No man, the only people I hear refer to shrooms as boomers are uneducated hicks and white trash. You should save the term "boomers" for them. Unless, of course, you are white trash. If that's the case, go ahead, call them boomers all you want, I'll understand.

Is it stupid to call baby boomers (someone born within a specific range of years in the middle of the last century) baby boomers?

Of course not.  Baby boomers also aren't known for cultivating such rich experiences as psilocybin mushrooms, so there isn't the ingrained desire for a nuetral term lacking recreational connotations (which I think "boomers" carries in the context of the teonanancatl).

Is it stupid to call baby boomers baby shroomers?

No, because that's a name of a generation.

Shrooms are called boomers because of the way and rate at which they grow. Same exact thing with the baby boomers.

And boomers is the slang name of a drug.

ive used boomers many times. But my school did have some people living in trailers. One of my friends did but he wasn't trash... Although he does have a daughter now it seems early but thats fate. Boomers is another code name almost but its real known now. Maybe they feel they heard it too much or are just weird like that.

Why would you mind a word and you can critize a lot of slang terms cause their really are some dumb ones. But sorta all of em make sense in a way or else they just would not be used. Even my friends back in the day made up a word for pot that no one knew just so we can use it in front of anybody without messing up our speech.

But all in all its not stupid to use that word and they just don't know. Hopefully they don't fall into the categories of pricks, but maybe everyone might have a lil in em. not me.
