Squires:
The most common X generation subgroup and the only subgroup
given to breeding. Squires exist almost exclusively in couples and are
recognizable by their frantic attempts to recreate a semblance of
Eisenhower-era plenitude in their daily lives in the face of
exorbitant housing prices and two-job life-styles. Squires tend to be
continually exhausted from their voraciously acquisitive pursuit of
furniture and knickknacks.
-- Douglas Coupland, Generation X
