My generation:
A baby boomer is a person who was born during the demographic Post-World War II baby boom between the years 1946 and 1964, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The term "baby boomer" is sometimes used in a cultural context. Therefore, it is impossible to achieve broad consensus of a precise definition, even within a given territory. Different groups, organizations, individuals, and scholars may have widely varying opinions on what constitutes a baby boomer, both technically and culturally. Ascribing universal attributes to a broad generation is difficult, and some observers believe that it is inherently impossible. Nonetheless, many people have attempted to determine the broad cultural similarities and historical impact of the generation, and thus the term has gained widespread popular usage.

Generally in humour:
Generally in humour attributed to power cuts, winters, darkness and boredom if not a bit of baby booming due to poor eyesight, judgement, advice partner etc. Not wearing condoms, freedom, the pill and decent chat up lines.
Baby Booming here ensures a Cheque, House and Home and similar for all family and freinds, if it does not work for you try Bingo. Lottery or crime ?
