I disagree strenuously. It has always been Gen xer.

rolig commented on the word xer
Surely it should be Gen X-er. Hyphenless xer (pronounced */zer/, */kser/?) makes no sense, except perhaps facetiously.

I can see 'exer' as the pronunciation; it would make me think of 'Gen-X-er' straight away, though I'm by no means schooled in that particular body of slang.

I'm with rolig. The hyphen has to be there, else it doesn't make sense.

Rolig's seems to be an elegant solution. Any other spelling implies a different pronunciation and an obfuscated meaning. IMO.

sionnach commented on the word xer
I think that, without the hyphen, this reads like a German with a chest infection trying to pronounce Cher's name. I'm also more familiar with Gen X-er as the way to designate a member of the cohort in question.

*thinks about German pronunciation of Cher's name*
*really should be working instead*
*decides the German pronunciation of Cher's name is far more interesting anyhow*
