WASHINGTON (AP) — “OK, Boomer" made its first appearance in the
Supreme Court Wednesday, invoked by baby boomer Chief Justice John Roberts 12 days before he turns 65.
The meme is a favorite of younger generations and Roberts used it in questions in a case about age discrimination in the workplace.
“The hiring person, who's younger, says, ‘OK, Boomer,' once to the applicant,” Roberts said as he conjured a hypothetical exchange to try to figure out when an older federal employee might be able to win a lawsuit under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
