40 things that only the elderly say

"Back in my day ..."


How does one really define a "older" person these days? Is it when he or she reaches 50 years? Or is it 60? Or maybe it's measured by something else completely ... After all, these days, "old" is certainly more a state of mind - or perhaps a feeling, whether purely a number.

Anyway, we firmly affirm that the true definition of "old" is anyone who regularly uses those words and sentences we have compiled here. Entrust us: you will never find a collection of words, statements and questions more kindly obsolete and more elegant that go virtually shouted: "I am an elderly person!"

So, read it (and know that all silly punch lines here come from a very good hot place). And if you want to learn to talk about millennium, we have your back! Just check the40 things only millennia say.
