Baby boomers, often shortened to boomers, are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X. The generation is often defined as people born from 1946 to 1964, during the post-World War II baby boom. The term is also used outside the United States, but the dates, the demographic context, and the cultural identifiers may vary. OK boomer” or “okay boomer” is a catchphrase and internet meme often used by millennials and Gen Z to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers. But, putting jealousies aside, here is your chance to become an honorary boomer – and, more importantly, win a great prize!

Here are 25 questions.  In the appropriate spaces, simply fill in the missing words. Cheating (including looking up the answers and/or getting help from others—including natural born boomers) is permitted. Having fun is required.
