ZEFERINO - Generation z words and phrases

Ok, Boomer!

Salerno - Sunday 14 January 2024.

A language has always coexisted with its respective dialect;for example, Italian with Neapolitan, or Salerno, or Palermo;in turn the dialect spoken in Salerno city is different from that spoken in Cava dei Tirreni or Nocera.But it doesn't end here: there is in fact slang, which is not a dialect, but is a language of the younger ones, those of the so-called generation Z, who use words borrowed from other languages - mostly English -and transform them in a personal way.For example, "boomer" is the diminutive of baby boomer, that is, elderly people, who are approximately 80 to 60 years old, while "zoomer" refers to a young person, from generation Z.
