🎬Tuesday afternoon, Chloe is in a lecture hall and Leo is gaming in his room.
Chloe Smith
Dad's literally the embodiment of 'boomer energy' right now. He just tried to "download" a physical book.
Leo Smith
Lmao rip. He's totally cooked.
💡
Chloe uses 'embodiment' to describe her father as the perfect example of a stereotype. She employs the slang 'boomer energy' (referring to outdated behavior) and Leo responds with 'cooked' (slang meaning someone is in a hopeless or embarrassing situation).
