Zer
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: From Z + -er.
Base: Z
Affixes: -er
Inflected forms:
form: Zers
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: A member of Generation Z.
pos: noun
examples: Boomers and Xers were told to stay silent, but millennials and Zers were encouraged to speak up. The millennials and some of these Zers who have grown up and joined our teaching force were raised in a model that put them at the center of the family circle, which helps explain why millennial and Gen Z teachers would want more interaction with authority figures.
Learning from the past is not the same as living in the past. Learning from the past is the only way one can truly live either progressively or conservatively in the present, whatever one’s preference might be. But don’t expect Millennials and Zers to believe such a tale.
The percentage of people who are interested in extreme sports is rising, and most of these people belong to the age groups of Millennials and Zers, who already seek out glamping.

[…] Easter is April 20, and I have set an informal goal of having 50,000 words on paper by that date—not necessarily good words, mind you, just C-grade stuff that I can work with and refine during the revision process.
Yet there's still a tang of C-grade cliché to a movie too obviously trying to pull off global intrigue on a low budget, with a surfeit of alpha-male posturing, hamfisted dialogue, and incessant gunfire ultimately failing to provide sufficient credibility (let alone production values).
The basic problem with Yahoo was that it never figured out what kind of company it was after it was beaten out by Google. It never figured out how to be more than a C-grade version of Google.
But this is a return to the kind of C-grade cheapo actioneers that damaged his reputation in the first place.

Arcadia had whispered to me that the women were ajummas, which means "aunties" and connotes matronly, working-class women known for no-nonsense warmth and authority.
Knowing that an ajumma would always be within arm's reach, like a Korean fairy godmother, traveling further afield grew less daunting.
Seventy percent of the Korean peninsula is covered in mountains, so hiking, camping and mountain climbing is a big part of my ancestral culture. I remember watching the Korean church ajummas (married, middle-aged women) spread sticky white rice onto sheets of seaweed, expertly rolling them up before our church members embarked on group hikes.
Turns out crocheting these scrubbers is a pastime among certain Korean ajummas, who love to give them away as gifts.
