I’d argue they’d know what it means but wouldn’t know the origin. Words evolve. I just learned this etymology now but I’ve always known what it meant implicitly when said. Tbh I assumed it was more local/rural slang when I was younger because I mainly heard it from other kids, not in media, etc.
I first assumed it was made by a millennial but that may be because I am one myself. If we do end up being the next mocked generation I will at least get a little amusement out of genx getting the shaft again.
