genth

(adj). Describes an action that is typical of the generation to which a person belongs.

The old broad had a genth determination to hike up the hard trail, pushing on through the rocks like a soldier fighting the waves to get to the Normandy beach.

  2. Oh, I like this very much. I'm going to teach genth to my students in lifespan human development, and they'll take it and run with it and someday the OED will come looking for the first use of the word, and it will be enshrined in originating with Andi.
