I don’t want to be called, ‘old people.’

The phrase went out of vogue decades ago as being politically incorrect, insensitive, and rude!

It was replaced by the phrase “senior citizen,” not they claim this is culturally incorrect?

Phhhtttt....I cannot keep up anymore. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. Get over it.

It doesn’t matter what you say. You can pick a word out of the dictionary at random and these feel-goodies will find a way to reach back way in their superior intellect and tell you how it is offensive.

The problem with “senior citizen” is that some old people aren’t citizens, so they could feel “excluded.” “Old” has problems, of course: some people don’t like the idea of being old, and also, it’s not precise.

“People of size” is the dumbest, since everyone has a size.
