Thanksgiving is a time when family and friends of all generations gather. I look forward to this event; it is a time of joy and gratitude. But I’m also a little apprehensive. I remember past Thanksgivings when I was young. After the meal, discussions of serious issues sometimes turned into heated debate.

In preparation for our family celebration, I have been thinking about potential hot button issues, specifically: how I should respond if one of the younger members of our table should use the phrase that is growing in popularity to express their dissatisfaction with my generation.
