Generation "Y"
« on: July 03, 2011, 11:32:34 am »
People born before 1946 were called The Silent generation..
People born between 1946 and 1964 are called The Baby Boomers.
People born between 1965 and 1979 are called Generation X, .
And people born between 1980 and 2010 are called Generation Y ,

Why do we call the last group Generation Y?
 
Y should I get a job?
Y should I leave home and find my own place?
Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?
Y should I clean my room?
Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?
Y should I buy any food?
But a cartoonist explained it very eloquently below...

  Sorry the cartoon didn't arrive, but it shows a teenager boy from his backside with his jeans sagging low showing the Y OF U KNOW WAT.LOL

OK, I'm Mr x then.

In general letters such as x,y and z are used to represent variable quantities.
and I guess this is trough.

I'm married when I was 150 pound(lbs) and now I'm 211, so guess that's variable  8)

I don't hear the silent generation......
only thing I don't know is what this means for the boomer's, what are they doing with those baby's? ::)

Yep I am a Baby Boomer. I am just surprised it took my parents from 1946 to 1958 to figure out how to have me. LOL  ::)

Oh Katie! Please not you!!! Maybe try acting older?

I squeezed in (or is that out) in 63. So I made the boomer era.
My younger brother is an Xer at 65 so we are different generations...no wonder!
