heard this at the weekend for the first time and totally get it :
Generation Snowflake, or Snowflake Generation, is a term used to characterise young adults of the 2010s as being more prone to taking offence and less resilient than previous generations, or too emotionally vulnerable to cope with views that challenge their own.
someone in the lift today at work was saying that a colleague had rung in to take Wed, Thu and Fri off this week as had failed to take Vitamin C on Tuesday

Sounds like an attempt to group together and ridicule genuine points of view. |  |

I think the term you are looking for is more offensive that that and begins with C |  | | |

Not generational at all though is it?
Seems a way to shut down people through hypocrisy. |  |

There is a generation that have grown up pampered in reality - but the worst thing is they are also the generation who have been hit hardest by how the world has gone.
Go to school, work hard, get good grades, get a degree - and then there are no jobs, and even if you get one you can't afford to buy a house.
They are then told by their elders that hard work pays which ignores the fact that they are the ones taking the opportunities and huge amounts of luck is involved. |  |

They've obviously got scurvy, otherwise they wouldn't be taking vitamin C supplements. |  |

| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

It is no longer acceptable to call people "a bit gay" anymore. Which is fair enough.
This is the new word for it. |  |

Every generation has a cohort who turn into miserable old bastards with minimal understanding of the people who follow them.
That's life. |  |

I suspect the young and lost generations who trotted of to war would not agree |  | | |

Considering they would be into their 80s at the very least, I doubt that's who Joe is talking about. | |

Nothing he has put in his comment could possibly be related to a generation that was conscripted. | |

The last troops to fight in WW2 would have been born in 1927, they are now 89/90 and that's the ones who just made it into the forces right at the end.
It really is time to get over this 'they fought in the war stuff' now. |  |
