An “elderberry” isn’t necessarily “elder,” but there are jokes. This was posted on Reddit—Oneliners and Twitter by dadlifememes on May 14, 2020:
“‘OK Boomer,’ said the currant to the elderberry.”
Wikipedia: OK Boomer
“OK Boomer” is a catchphrase and meme that gained popularity among young people in November 2019, used to dismiss or mock attitudes stereotypically attributed to the baby boomer generation (those born in the two decades following World War II). The phrase first drew widespread attention in a 2019 TikTok video in response to an older man, though the phrase was coined years before that.
